蝴蝶的翅膀

蝴蝶的翅膀 One day a small opening appeared on a cocoon.a man sat and watched for the butterfly for the several hours as it struggled to force its 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 further.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.The man continued to watch the butterfly because he expected that,at any moment,the wings would enlarge and expand.Neither happened! In fact,the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling around wiht a swollen body and shriveled wings.It never was able to fly. What the man in his kindness and haste did not understand was that the restricting cocoon and the struggle required for the butterfly to get throgh the tiny opening were God's 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. Sometimes strugles 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 what we could have been.
