Everything Is Beautiful In Time 

I asked God for a fresh flower but He gave me a thorny cactus.

I asked God for a cute, beautiful animal, but He gave me a hairy caterpillar.

I’m sad and disappointed… why is God’s gift not according to my request? Maybe God has too many people to take care of.

But some time later, the cactus flowered very beautifully.

The caterpillar grew and turned into a very beautiful butterfly.

I am also happy because I have beautiful flowers and beautiful butterflies.

God always does everything right. God’s way is the best way, even though it seems wrong. If we ask for something but receive something else from God, believe me, God will definitely give us what we ask for in its time.

God doesn’t always give us what we ask for, but He gives us what we need. Such is God’s way. He paints the best things for us. Everything is beautiful in its time.

Today’s thorns are tomorrow’s flowers. Sometimes starting something is very difficult but trust everything in God. What we can do is to start doing it right now and surrender completely to God because God knows what is best for us.

“For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for peace and not for harm, to give you a future full of hope.”
