How Long Is 90,000 Words
One day, a small hole appeared in a cocoon, a man who was passing by chance, began to watch the butterfly for several hours, tried to get out of that little hole.
After a long time, it seemed that it had surrendered and the hole was always the same size. It seemed that the butterfly had now done all he could, and that was no longer able to do anything else. Then the man decided to help the butterfly: he took a pocketknife and opened the cocoon. The butterfly then emerged immediately. But his body was small and shrunken, and his wings were poorly developed and hardly moved. The man continued to watch because he hoped that, at any moment, the wings of the butterfly opened and they were able to sustain the body, and it began to fly. Not
nothing happened! As the butterfly spent the rest of his life crawling on the floor with a shrunken body and wings undeveloped. He was never able to fly.
What man, with his gesture of kindness and with the intention of helping did not understand was that pass through the narrow hole in the cocoon was the effort required so the butterfly could convey the fluid of his body to its wings, so that it could fly.
was the way in which God made her grow and develop.
Sometimes, the effort is exactly what we need in our lives.
If God allowed us to live our lives without encountering any obstacles, we would be limited. We could not be as strong as we are. We could never fly.
I asked for strength ... and God gave me difficulties to make me strong.
I asked for wisdom ... and God gave me problems to solve.
I asked for prosperity ... and God gave me brains and muscles to work.
I asked to be able to fly ... and God gave me obstacles to overcome.
I asked for love ... and God gave me to help people with problems.
I asked for favors ... and God gave me opportunities.
I have not received anything that I asked ... But I got everything I needed.
Live life without fear, tackle all obstacles and prove that you can overcome them.
