Healing Wings is based on the premise of a story that we walk beside people through their struggles. Below is a story about God's butterfly. It is a powerful story of how we allow the process of wounds to heal through God, Counseling, and a person's walk through their pain and triumph because of the journey. Learning to cope with our pain and to see how we may help become healers ourselves is a process that is fulfilling and can be joyful. For through God's love, God will provide strength, mercy and most of all His Grace in all circumstances.
And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. Romans 8:28

God's Butterfly ~
A man found a cocoon of a butterfly. One day a small opening appeared. He sat and watched the butterfly for several hours as it struggled to force its body through a little hole. It all of a sudden seemed to stop making progress. It appeared as if it had gotten as far as it could, and it could go no further. So the man decided to help the butterfly. He took a pair of scissors and snipped off the remaining bit of the cocoon. The butterfly emerged easily, but it had a swollen body and small-shriveled wings. The man continued to watch the butterfly because he expected that, at any moment, the wings would enlarge and expand, supporting its body weight. Neither happened! In fact, the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling around with a swollen body and shriveled wings.
It was never able to fly.
What the man, in his kindness and haste, did not understand was that the restricting cocoon and the struggle required for the butterfly to get through the tiny opening was God’s way of forcing fluid from the body into its wings. The struggle would be rewarded by the ability to fly!
The struggles are exactly what we need in our lives. If God allowed us to go through our lives without obstacles, it would cripple us like it crippled the butterfly.
So think of a butterfly and its struggle when you are face to face with pain and strife ~ soon God will teach you how to fly! So go and be Blessed!!
