A small crack appeared on a cocoon. A man sat for hours and watched carefully the struggle of the butterfly to get out of that small crack of cocoon. Then the butterfly stopped striving. It seemed that she was exhausted and couldn’t go on trying . The man decided to help the poor creature . He widened the crack by scissors. The butterfly came out of cocoon easily , but her body was tiny and her wings were wrinkled . The man continued watching the butterfly. He expected to see to protect her body. But it didn’t happen! As a matter of fact, the butterfly had to crawl on the ground for the rest of her life , for she could never fly. The kind man didn’t realize that God had arranged the limitation of cocoon , and also the struggle for butterfly to get out of it , so that a certain fluid could be discharged from her body to enable her to fly afterward.
Sometimes struggling is the only thing we need to do. If God had provided us with an easy life to live without any difficulties, then we became paralyzed , couldn’t become strong , and could not fly. I asked for strength , and He provided me with enough difficulties to become strong. I asked for knowledge and He provided me with problems to solve. I asked for prosperity and promotion , and He provided me with ability To think and hands to work. I asked for bravery , and He provided me with obstacles to overcome. I asked for motivation , and He showed me people who needed help. I asked for love and He provided me with opportunity to give love to others. I didn’t get what I wanted … But I was provided with what I needed. Don’t worry , fight with difficulties and be sure that you can prevail over them. The end… |
