Struggle comes with problems. Struggle is a natural process of our evolution.
Once a science teacher brought a cocoon to the classroom. He told the students that they were going to watch a real drama of how a caterpillar turns into a butterfly. He told them not to help but simply watch as the butterfly struggles to come out of the cocoon. He left the classroom to come back after an hour. With enthusiasm and curiosity, the children watched as the butterfly struggled to come out.
It looked like a helpless struggle for the butterfly had to stop in the process a number of times. Filled with pity and care, one boy stepped forward, tore the cocoon open and took the butterfly out. By the time the teacher returned, the butterfly was lying dead near its torn cocoon. The students told him what had happened.
With calmness and concern, the teacher explained to the bunch of students that it is the law of nature for the butterfly to struggle because as it struggles to come out of the cocoon, the struggle helps develop and strengthen the wings. And by the time it comes out, it would be ready to fly. Now it lies dead because the boy had deprived the butterfly of its struggle to strengthen its wings.
There is a ‘butterfly’ in all of us. By the time of our birth, we had struggled to come out from the cocoon of mother’s womb. That is the law of nature. We came out crying because that is how we inhale and exhale the air for our survival. It is the law of nature that we have to struggle from one problem to another in the process of our evolution from one stage of life to another.
The more we struggle, the stronger we become. The stronger we become, the better is our chance for survival. Survival is not a matter of life and death only, it is rather a matter of degree – from crawling to toddling, from toddling to walking, from walking to running, from running to flying – right from the cradle to the grave till we reach Heaven which is the highest state of life.

But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. — Isaiah 40:31
In my Christianity and the faith I do embrace — my strength is renewed in a topsy turvy way … — RUN … WALK … I am a full-fledged BETTER-fly!

Fallen world! i was wondering what it was like before the fall of Man at Eden.what we are withnessing now is the fact that even the not so fit survive while the fittest succumb.humanity arrive at the stage where basic instinct for survival fails and so called chance prevails.
Everything that takes place on earth is not necessarily God’s will;that is why we pray”Thy will be done on earth”

Women conceived and delivered with painful.we came out with crying on account of inherited of man sin.
Everything that takes place on earth is not God’s will; that is why God the Son (Jesus Christ)came on earth to complete God’s will.
No matter how hard we try except through Jesus Christ.
