LIFE is a struggle

There is a story that deserves our reflection together how we deal with life and struggle. At one point someone found the cocoon of a butterfly. One day a small hole appeared. He sat watching in a few hours candidates butterflies when he struggled to force himself through that little hole. Then the butterfly stopped making progress. It seems he has tried he could and he could not further.

Eventually, they decided to help him. He took a scissors and cut the rest of the confinement of the cocoon. Butterflies are out with ease. Cheerful heart because that person has let go of the difficulties suffered by the butterfly. However, the butterfly has a body was bloated and small, shriveled wings. Man continued to watch because he hopes that, at any moment, the wings would enlarge and expand to be able to sustain his body, which may be developed over time.

In fact, the butterfly spent the rest of his life crawling around with a swollen body and shriveled wings. He never could fly. What is not understandable from the kindness and haste, the individual is that the cocoon and the struggle it takes a butterfly to get through a small hole is God's way of forcing fluid from the body of the butterfly into its wings so that he will be ready to fly so he gain freedom from the cocoon.

From the story if we sometimes think of the name is a struggle that we need in our lives. If God let us live without obstacles and struggles, it may actually be crippling us. We may not be as strong as the proper needed to sustain the ideals and expectations that we ask. We probably will never be able to "Fly". Surely God is merciful and all-merciful.

There is another adage from previous poets

We are asking Strength, God gave us the difficulties to make us strong. Pleaded policy, The Lord of Life member issues to be resolved so that we grow wise.We ask prosperity , God gave us brains and power to be used completely in achieving prosperity. We ask Tenacity, God gave Disaster and Danger to overcome.We beg Love, God gives us people with problems to be saved and be loved. We Pleading for mercy / kindness, God gave us the opportunities that turns.

That's how God led us. Is if I do not get what I want, meaning that I did not get everything I need? Sometimes God does not give what we ask for, but for sure the Lord give you the best for us, most of us do not understand know, even unwilling to accept God's plan, but that's the best for us.

 

Keep fighting ... trying ... I surrender ...If that is the best then surely God will give it to us.

Be thankful because you did not have everything you want,if so, let alone to be desired.Be thankful when you do not know something,because they give you opportunities to learn. Be thankful for hard times,because at the time that you grow.Be thankful for life,because it gives you a chance to grow. Be thankful for each new challengebecause it will build strength and character.

Life is a struggle, that's where we also need a sacrifice.
