*EVERY SITUATION HAS A REASON! THE BUTTERFLY LESSONS PART ONE!*

A man found a cocoon (a silky covering spun by the larvae of many insects for protection as pupae) of a butterfly. One day, a small opening appeared. He sat and watched the butterfly for several hours as it struggled to force its body through that little hole until it suddenly stopped making any progress and looked like it was stuck.

So the man decided to help the butterfly. He took a pair of scissors and cut off the remaining bit of the cocoon. The butterfly then emerged easily, although it had a swollen body and small wrinkled, dry and shrinking wings.

Now get this: The man didn't think anything of it and sat there waiting for the wings to enlarge to support the butterfly. But that didn't happen. The butterfly spent the rest of its life unable to fly, crawling around with tiny wings and a swollen body.

Despite the kind heart of the man, he didn't understand that the struggle needed by the butterfly to get itself through the small opening of the cocoon was his creator way to forcing fluid from the body of the butterfly into its wings, to prepare itself for flying once it was out of the cocoon.

You must refused depressions, why me, I can't do it, or self-pity BECAUSE OF ANY BATTLE YOU ARE ALLOWED TO PASS THROUGH! It is your struggles in life that develop your strength/wisdom! Without struggles, we never grow and never get stronger! When you look for easy ways out of battles and challenges, you end up UNABLE TO FLY HIGHER in Destiny!

All that is happening in our country Nigeria is not by mistake, it has been designed to happen this ways and at the end of the struggles light will shine again at the end of the tunnel!

We must allow natural laws to take its place sometimes in our lives, did you get that? Your Creator will NEVER allow a battle that will not end in your favour! Hear Max Lucado: "Your Creator will use whatsoever He wants to display His glory. Heavens and Stars. History and Nations. People and Problems." Delay and disappointments are two different tools that can make you stronger and prepared.

Things will get better again! Happy Tuesday to great minds!
