Today’s Thorn Is Tomorrow’s Flower...
We don't always understand why things happen in contrary to our expectations. But we need to remember that God is the One who sees the picture and He sometimes accomplishes the goal at hand in different ways than we would expect it. Just because God does it differently in ways that we do not always understand, I want you to be confident and know that God is in control and will always bring good out of the bad that we see.

Once there was a man who asked God for a flower and a butterfly. But instead God gave him a cactus and a caterpillar.
The man was sad. He didn’t understand why his prayer was not answered. Then the man thought, “Oh well, God has so many people to care for,” and he decided not to question God.
After some time, the man went to check up on the cactus and the caterpillar. To his surprise, from the thorny and ugly cactus, a beautiful flower had grown. And the unsightly caterpillar had been transformed into the most beautiful butterfly.

God always does things right. His way is always the best way, even if it seems all wrong to us. If you asked God for one thing and received another, trust Him. He will give you what you need at the appropriate time. What you want is not always what you need.
God tells us in Isaiah 55:8-9, “For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways, says the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts.”
Also we need to keep in mind what Romans 8:28 says, “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose.”
Remember: “Today’s thorn is tomorrow’s flower.”
Stay Blessed!
