From a Caterpillar to a Butterfly

And say Christian are you presently in a God-designed “cocoon” of suffering? Unaware to others, are you in wise God’s “simulated” (He can create em’) conditions resembling a stifling cocoon? Remember, He is transforming you from an ugly Caterpillar into a beautiful butterfly before putting you in the throne of ruling angels (1 Cor 6:3). Hang on for coming out of the “cocoon” before God’s “appointed time” would result in serious under-development of your “wings”. It is indeed a zoological fact also that, if anyone helps the “struggling” Butterfly when emerging from the narrow hole in its cocoon, by cutting open the latter, he would do more harm than good to the beautiful creature. Its “struggle” has been designed by the all wise God in order its body fluid spreads to its wings in this “painful” process, so that they develop perfectly.
