What you want is not always what you need

What you want is not always what you need

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 request was mistaken. The he thought: "Oh well, God has too many people to care for" and decided not to question Him.

 

After some time, 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 unsightly caterpillar had been transformed into the beautiful butterfly.

 

God always does things right! His way is always the best way even if to us it seems all.

 

If you ask God for one thing and received another, still trust.

 

You can be sure that He will always 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!
