The strategy of god to make us victor

A man found a cocoon of a butterfly . One day a small opening appered ahe sat and watched the butterfly for several hours as it struggled to force its body through that little hole.

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, shirivelled wings.

The man continued to watch the butterfly because he expected that , at any oment , the wings would enlarge and expand to be able to support the body. which would contract in time. Neither butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling around with a swollen body and shrivelled wings. It never was able to fly.

The restricting cocoon and strugggle required for the butterfly to get through the tiny opening were God's way of forcing fluid from the body of butterfly into its wings so that it would be ready for flight once it achieved its freedom from the cocoon.

Moral
some times struggles are exactly what we need in our lives. If God allowed us to go through our lives without any obstacles, it would cripple us. We would not be as strong as what we could have been . we could never fly!.

1. what is your conception in your mind when you were in struggles
2.Have you ever felt that god has left your hands when u were in struggles
3.Introspect your life in the light of this story.
