I DID NOT WRITE THIS. Hope this story blesses you:
Bible verse: The Lord is my strength and my shield: my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth: and with my song will I praise him. - Psalm 28:7
Story: There is a story about a man who kept watching a cocoon. The man knew a butterfly would emerge, but it seemed to take forever. FInally, being impatient and wanting to free the stuggling insect, he took a knife and split the cocoon.
The butterfly was born, but it could not fly. The man had prevented a very necessary stuggle that the butterfly needed. That stuggle forces body juices into the insect's wings, giving it strength to fly.
Prehaps there is a lesson for us in the story. Those who have had some great struggles in life are often better for enduring the difficulties. Losses, rejection, disabilities, and dissappointments, can teach us patience, strengthen us spiritually, and make us better, more kindly humans.
Theologians sometimes use the phrase, "No cross, no crown."
It was victory over the Cross, that made christ king.
Hoped you were blessed.
