Plant a Seed, Watch it Grow

Like plants, God plants things in us and it is our job to cultivate and maintain the things he instills in us. Sometimes if we don’t visually see the growth, we may feel that we haven’t grown at all. Although we may not be able to see the visual fruit from our growth, it doesn’t mean that we aren’t going through the development. We are prepared and nurtured first. In order for us to be able to maintain the things God has for us, he wants to provide us with all the tools to help develop and prepare us. Sometimes through the preparations, there will be some obstacles you may face. God sustains us to get through these things and not over them. That’s the lesson we miss as human beings; thinking that we need to get over things when God places us through repetition. Repetition occurs when we sometimes miss the mark for the first time. It takes time to harvest a forest. We can’t expect growth to happen overnight or within a rapid timeframe. It’s good to set realistic expectations. At times during growth, we experience discomfort. Accept the discomfort because there is no production with growth and comfort.
