Co
A man found a co of a b*tterfly. One day a small opening appeared. He sat and watched the b*tterfly for several hours as it struggled to force its body through that little hole. Then it seemed to stop making any progress. It appeared as if it had gotten as far as it could, and it could go no further.
So the man decided to help the b*tterfly. He took a pair of scissors and snipped off the remaining bit of the co .
The b*tterfly then emerged easily. But it had a swollen body and small, shriveled wings.
The man continued to watch the b*tterfly because he expected that, at any moment, the wings would enlarge and expand to be able to support the body, which would contract in time.
Neither happened! gIn fact, the b*tterfly spent the rest of its life crawling around with a swollen body and shriveled wings. It never was able to fly.
What the man, in his kindness and haste, did not understand was that the restricting co and the struggle required for the b*tterfly to get through the tiny opening were Allahs way of forcing fluid from the body of the b*tterfly into its wings so that it would be ready for flight once it achieved its freedom from the co .
Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our lives. If Allah allowed us to go through our lives without any obstacles, it would cripple us.
We would not be as strong as what we could have been. We could never fly!
I asked for Strength. ..And Allah gave me Difficulties to make me strong.
I asked for Wisdom And Allah gave me Problems to solve.
I asked for Prosperity.. .And Allah gave me Brain and Brawn to work.
I asked for Courage.. .And Allah gave me Danger to overcome.
I asked for Love.. .And Allah gave me Troubled people to help.
I asked for Favors And Allah gave me Opportunities.
I received nothing I wanted ..I received everything I needed! *
