From Struggle Comes Strength

When the caterpillar-turned-butterfly is ready to leave the cocoon, it is the struggle of breaking free that gives it the strength to fly. Without the struggle the wings do not develop and the butterfly cannot become all that it’s meant to be. Sometimes it is the spiritual/religious trials that give us the strength to break free and fly. Let us not forget, we are meant to leave the past behind so that we may spread our wings and fly.
