From Catipillar To Butterfly- A Struggle For Life!

As the catipillar struggles to break free from its caccoon, it knows that the struggle is necessary to become strong enough to fly once freedom is achieved. This struggle is his own and to help it break free would mean that it would not have enough strength in its wings to fly which would lead to an inability to fly or survive. Sometimes it is necessary for each of us to go through a struggle or a series of events that become like refining fires which help mold and shape us into a better and even stronger person than before. Within these struggles we will often learn something new about ourselves, where our values lie or where we lean and draw our strength from. God, the One who gave us our existence, gives us our very breath and who knows our future allows us to go through many different kind of life challenges, but also realize that you can and will make it when you understand that He does not give you more than He knows that you can handle. By our creator , we are even known better than we know ourselves because He made us. So, when you feel life throwing in the towel because of all the events that are happening to you or around you that you can't seem to control, remember this Proverb from the Bible (Proverbs 3:5,6) that says "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, Lean not on your own understanding, In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your paths". Even if you are not a very religious person or even a Christian person, this Proverb will always stand the test of time. Try to understand , that breaking free from and surviving life's coccoons of struggles depends more on believing in a Who rather that a What and trusting Him to give us the strength to see us through the battle fields, so we like the new butterfly who grew strong to fly, will also be able to break free from those chains that want also to hold us captive, stronger than ever and more assured of who we are when we stand and look into the mirror. Struggles are a part of life, but with God, you have already won the war!
