The Flower & The Butterfly

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 did not understand why his request was mistaken.  Then he thought: Oh well, God has too many people to care for, and decided not to question.  After sometime, the man went to check up on his request that he had left forgotten.  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 to us it seems all wrong.  If you asked God for one thing and received another, TRUST.  You can be sure He will always give you what you need at the appropriate time.  What you want is not always what you need.  God never fails to grant our petitions.  So keep on going for Him without doubting or murmuring.  Today’s THORN… Is tomorrow’s FLOWER!   God gives the very best to those who leave the choices up to Him!
