This is a story my friend (autumnpromise91) sent me.. I love you Michele!

A man found a cocoon for a butterfly. One day a small opening appeared, he sat and
watched the butterfly for several hours as it struggled to force his body through the the
little hole.
Then it seemed to stop making any progress. It appeared that it had gotten as far as
it could and could go no farther. Then the man decided to help the butterfly.

He took a pair of scissors and snipped the remaining bit of the cocoon. The butterfly
emerged easily.

Something was strange. The butterfly had a swollen body and shriveled wings. The man
continued to watch the butterfly because he expected at any moment, the wings would
enlarge and expand to be able to support the body, which would contract in time.

Neither happened. In fact the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling around with a
swollen body and deformed wings. It was never 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 through the small opening of
the cocoon are 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 struggles are exactly what we need in our life.

If God allowed us to go through all our lives without any obstacles, that would cripple us. We would never be as strong as what we could have been.

Not only that, we could never fly.
