“Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand. ” Isaiah 41:10
I remember a day when I felt weak, without any desire to fight that day’s battle. It was a very difficult day. Not only did I feel sad and worried, but my tribulations seemed so big that it seemed imposible to overcome them. At that moment all my trust in God seemed to have vanished. Looking back on it, it’s painful to see that although God had everything under control, my faith had weakened and I’d forgotten everything He’d done for me in the past.
In order to relax, I went for a walk alone, to share some time with the Lord. Those 15 minutes became very intense.
As I walked, I looked around at the trees, the green grass, and the beautiful sunshine. It was a perfect environment for happiness, but I couldn’t seem to give all my afflictions to the One who could solve them.
On my way back to work, I came across a butterfly. I can’t say it was the most beautiful one I’d ever seen, but its dark brown colors caught my attention. It stopped right in front of me, so I was able to look closer—and suddenly, I noticed it had broken wings! One wing was worse than the other, but as I approached for a closer look, it began to fly around me. I just couldn’t believe my eyes. It flew with such freedom!
How can a butterfly fly with broken wings? I wondered. How can it remain alive even though it’s so wounded? Does it feel pain? Does it feel incomplete? What caused its wings to break?
I had so many questions, and then I heard God’s response. If the butterfly flies with broken wings, then it’s because I want it to—because I have the power to make it possible. I was totally surprised by God’s answer, and I quickly thought about my life, and how I felt at that very moment. I also had broken wings. I was full of worries, and I didn’t have any strength to do battle.
But again, God whispered, If I can make a butterfly with broken wings fly, you can also fly—even if you’re hurt, even if you feel it’s impossible to go on. Just let Me take you to the place you need to go.
I couldn’t hold back my tears of joy. God was telling me that no matter what was happening, He was walking with me, and side by side, we’d get across this safely!
Can you hear God speaking to you? He says, It doesn’t matter how broken or discouraged you are. I can make you fly with broken wings!
