One day I found a cocoon of a butterfly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One day a small opening appeared. I sat and watched the butterfly for several hours as it struggled to force its body through that little hole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Until it suddenly stopped making any progress and looked like it was stuck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So I decided to help the butterfly. I took a pair of scissors and snipped off the remaining bit of the cocoon. The butterfly then emerged easily, although it had a swollen body and small, shriveled wings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I didn\u2019t think anything of it and sat there waiting for the wings to enlarge to support the butterfly. But that didn\u2019t happen. The butterfly spent the rest of its life unable to fly, crawling around with tiny wings and a swollen body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Despitemy kind heart, I didn\u2019t understand that the restricting cocoon and the struggle needed by the butterfly to get itself through the small opening; were God\u2019s way of forcing fluid from the body of the butterfly into its wings. To prepare itself for flying once it was out of the cocoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our struggles in life develop our strengths. Without struggles, we never grow and never get stronger, so it\u2019s important for us to tackle challenges on our own, and not be relying on help from others.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
