PERSPECTIVE

One of the challenges of growth is that we often cannot see it while it is happening.

Roots grow beneath the surface before fruit appears. Character develops long before it is recognized. Faith deepens long before circumstances change.

Because growth can be difficult to measure, many people become discouraged too soon.

We focus on what isn’t happening instead of noticing what is.

Friend, take a moment today to consider what God may be growing in your life.

Perhaps He is growing patience where there used to be frustration. Perhaps He is growing wisdom where there used to be confusion. Perhaps He is growing courage where there used to be fear.

Not all growth is visible, but all growth matters.

God is always working beneath the surface, preparing you for what comes next.

The fact that you are still trusting, still praying, still showing up, and still moving forward is evidence that God is at work.

Celebrate what is growing.

Celebrate what God is teaching.

Celebrate His faithfulness.

And stay steady.
