2. A Butterflys LessonOne day, a small oppening appeared on a
cocoon; a man sat and watched for the butterfly for several hours
as it struggled to force its body through that little hole.
3. Then, it seems to stop making any progress. It appeared as
if it had gotten as far as it could and it could not go any
further.
4. So the man decided to help the butterfly: he took a pair of
scissors and opened the cocoon. The butterfly then emerged easily.
But it had a withered body, it was tiny and shrivelled wings.
5. The man continued to watch because he expected that, at any
moment, the wings would open, enlarge and expand, to be able to
support the butterflys body, and become firm.
6. Neither happened! In fact, the butterfly spent the rest of
its life crawling around with a withered body and shrivelled wings.
It never was able to fly.
7. What the man, in his kindness and his goodwill did not
understand was that the restricting cocoon and the struggle
required for the butterfly to get through the tiny opening, were
Gods way of forcing fluid from the body of the butterfly into its
wings, so that it would be ready for flight once it achieved its
freedom from the cocoon.
8. Sometimes, struggl es 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.
Never been able to fly.
9. I asked for Strength... And God gave me difficulties to make
me strong. Iasked for Wisdom... And God gave me Problems to solve.
I asked for prosperity... And God gave me a Brain and Brawn to
work.
10. I asked for Courage.. And God gave me obstacles to
overcome. I asked for Love... And God gave me Troubled people to
help.
11. I asked for Favors... And God gave me Opportunities. I
received nothing I wanted... But I received everything I
needed."
