Once there was a man who asked God for a flower and a butterfly.
But instead God gave him a cactus and a caterpillar.
The man was sad. He didn’t understand why his prayer was not answered.
Then the man thought, “Oh well, He has so many people to care for,” and he decided not to question God.
After some time, the man went to check up on the cactus and the caterpillar.
To his surprise, from the thorny and ugly cactus, a beautiful flower had grown.
And the unsightly caterpillar had been transformed into the most beautiful butterfly.
God always does things right.
His way is always the best way, even if it seems all wrong to us.
If you asked God for one thing and received another, trust Him.
He will give you what you need at the appropriate time.
What you want is not always what you need.
Today’s thorn is tomorrow’s flower.
We know an AWESOME GOD! (And truth be told, the word Awesome is thrown around by many, but I choose to only refer to GOD, as being an AWESOME GOD!) He truly IS Awesome! And just to say how Awesome He truly is….well, I Googled butterflies & flowers and this came up! I have already shared it with many. Although I subscribe to AllWorhip, somehow I missed seeing this write-up. That can only be a “God-incidence” because I truly needed to read this today & not when it would’ve come into my inbox! Lord bless you for your encouragement that has been truly Blessed by God, Our Awesome God! Blessings, in all you do for so many of us! With a Grateful Heart! <<
Today we are in difficult times, and now i read this story i feel and said to myself that i must wait for the God’s plan co’s everything I planned is mistakes always, sometimes I feel like God is not answering my prayers He just listen to all I prayed. And everytime I cry I said that why did He do this to us we don’t do anything to others. And today I read this I have an inspiration that I should wait for the time that the Lord will give to me…God Bless Us All !!!
