GROWING THROUGH DIRT

People love the thought of being gifted, talented, and having the ability to accomplish many things but when it comes to the refining process the smiles that we normally carry begin to disappear. One question that comes to mind for me is what happens to the seed if it’s not planted correctly?

When uncomfortably takes place even a little bit we become frazzled and we ask for the pain to be taken away not fully realizing that, without the darkness, good fruit cannot be produced. Everything that has grown in the dirt had to be covered first for it to blossom fully.

We have to get to a place in our walk where we don’t run from the pruning process but embrace it. Nothing that we go through in this life will be unused, and when you look closely and change your perspective you’re able to see that had certain events and things not transpired, we wouldn’t be where we are now. Consider them seed stages, because without the frustration there would be no fruit.

Overall through this process, our faith grows deeper and we begin to truly see and appreciate what God is doing. God is not one to lead you to a dead place and leave you there, it’s not in his nature, instead, he’s planting us.

So remember to count it all joy! God is rooting for you and so am I!

James 1:2-4 ESV

Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.

Psalms 119:71 ESV

It is good for me that I was afflicted, that I might learn your statutes.
