The story talks about how a man found a butterfly cocoon and watched as the butterfly struggled to squeeze its body through the tiny hole. The man decided to help this little butterfly by snipping off the remaining bits of the cocoon. The butterfly emerged easily but it had a swollen body and shriveled wings and was not able to fly. The man thought he was helping the butterfly, but what he didn't understand was that the restricting cocoon and the struggle required by the butterfly to get through the opening of the cocoon was a way of forcing the fluid from the body into the wings so that it would be ready for flight once that was achieved.
My friend, sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our lives. Going through life with no obstacles would cripple us and we would not be as strong as we could have been and we would never fly. Let us keep our focus on God and trust Him through the struggles of life. We are not alone, God never leaves; He never stops loving; and He never lets go.
