Isn’t it a typical human reaction to question God/Divine/Spirit when we face rough weather or when it gets incredibly tough to confront certain situations in life?
Do we not fret and fume and wonder when something we think we badly need is denied to us?
Don’t we at times even accuse God for all these denials?
Well, if only we constantly reminded ourselves that He decides each and every situation for us based on what we really need and deserve.
For, God can only do good to us. He is our creator and only wishes to see smiles on our faces, even though it may not always seem that way.
And this is because, unfortunately, our vision is often narrow.
Here is a beautiful story to illustrate this…
John found a cocoon of a butterfly in his back garden one evening…
He decided to take it indoors to watch it break through its shell and arrive in this world safe and sound.
After a few days, he saw that the cocoon cracked at a point through which he could see the butterfly struggle to get out…
Feeling pity for the butterfly, and assuming that the fighting creature needed his help, he enlarged the hole through which he could see the butterfly trying to break free…
The scissors did the job alright, and John was excited in anticipation of watching the caterpillar turn into a butterfly…
But he noticed that the butterfly seemed to have an unusually oversized body with wings that looked weak, feeble, and shriveled…
Isn’t it the normal way for a caterpillar to transform into a butterfly once out of the cocoon?
Did John even doubt that things would go wrong?
Well, while John waited and watched to see the caterpillar grow into a beautiful butterfly, the caterpillar really never grew anymore…
He was hoping that the butterfly would spread its wings that would eventually get large enough to pick its body up for its first flight…
Unfortunately, such a thing never happened…
The body of the butterfly remained strangely large, and it stayed there, crippled, with shriveled wings…
John’s heart broke when he realized that in his concern and impatience to get the caterpillar to be a butterfly, he had actually deprived it of a normal life.
The apparent struggle of the butterfly that John had witnessed was the time required by it to gain enough strength in its wings to fly out of its shell…
The struggle to break the cocoon was very much necessary for its wings to become strong…
That one moment of ill-timed intervention had crippled the life of the caterpillar forever…
It could never become what it came into the world to be – a butterfly.
Therefore, all the struggles and trials that we all go through in our lives is for our good, whether we realize it at that point or not.
Take the case of my client, Sally who came to me because she was very upset that her brother was told he was an alcoholic.
Sally had been aware that her brother had a “problem” for years. The family did not talk about it…
They merely swept whatever the problem was under the carpet…
This family’s totally dysfunctional way of dealing with their member’s issues of course led to more problems down the road…
During our sessions together, with Clarity and Insight (sight within) Sally was able to “help” her brother find the solutions best suited for him at this time.
There was no “fixing” or temporary solutions needed…
