A man was regularly observing a butterfly cocoon lying on his window sill.
One day a small opening appeared, he sat and watched the butterfly for
several hours as it struggled to force it's body through that little hole.
Then it seemed to stop making any progress. It appeared as if it had gotten
as far as it could and it could go no farther.
So, the man decided to help the butterfly, he took a pair of scissors and
snipped off the remaining bit of the cocoon. The butterfly then emerged
easily.
BUT, it had a swollen body, and small shriveled wings. He continued to watch
the butterfly, because he expected that, at any moment, the wings would
enlarge and expand to support the body, which would contract in time.
Neither happened! In fact, the butterfly spent the rest of it's life
crawling around with a swollen body and shriveled wings. It was never able
to fly.
What he had done in his well intentioned kindness and haste, he did not
understand was that the restricting cocoon and the struggle required to get
through the tiny opening were God's way of forcing fluid from the body of
the butterfly into it's wings so that it would be ready for flight ONCE it
achieved it's freedom from the cocoon.
Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our life. If God allowed us
to go through our life without any obstacles, it would cripple us.
We would not be as strong as we could have been...... And we could never
fly......Have a great day, great life, and struggle a little.... Then fly! *
