Good morning/ afternoon/ evening loves. I came across this write up many months before I had the confidence to start blogging. These words really touched me and I knew I was going to share it on my blog some day. .
One day a small opening appeared on a cocoon of a butterfly,
a man saw how the butterfly struggled for several hours to force
its body through the little hole all to no avail.
Then the butterfly seemed to stop making any progress,
it appeared as if it had gotten as far as it could and it
could go no further. Then the man decided to help the
butterfly, he snipped off the remaining cocoon with a
scissor and suddenly the butterfly emerged easily
but, it had swollen body and small shrivelled wings.
The man continued to watch the butterfly because
he expected that at any moment the wings would enlarge
and expand to be able to support the body which would contract in time.
However, this didn't happen as the butterfly spent the rest of its life
crawling around with a swollen body and shrivelled wings as
it never was able to fly.
What the man in his kindness and haste didn't understand was that
the restricting cocoon and the struggle required the butterfly to get
through the tiny opening were God's own 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.
Something struggling are exactly what we need in our lives. If God allowed us to go through life without any struggle or obstacle, it would cripple us. We would not be as strong as what we could have been and we could never fly!.
I hope this helps you realise that what ever you are passing through at the moment is just a channel to greater, mightier and beautiful things to come if only you are persistent, faithful to God and positive minded. Remain blessed!!!
