The Moth

"Struggle is nature's way of strengthening us,' I heard someone say recently. Just as the moth struggles to break out of its cocoon, it can only happen through the struggle. No one is going to help the moth escape, but rather, it is through the process of cracking that shell that the moth gains the strength it needs for its survival later. Its "muscles" become stronger through actively going through the struggle to break free. Our struggles are working for us something mighty in us, something we can't yet see. Its in that very struggle that we gain the insights, the endurance, the abilities and the leveling up that we need for whatever is "beyond the cocoon." Romans 8:18 says, "I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us." Trust God in your struggle, knowing that you are being made stronger and more capable through the process.
