You may feel stuck in a painful part of your story, I know this doesn’t make sense right now – but I know you will come to the other side of this. It can take years of pruning and thinning to create quality. You cannot microwave spiritual formation. It takes time to grow, heal, mend, and discover your passions, fears, hopes, strengths, and weaknesses. Jesus said, “I am the vine; you are the branches. Those who remain in me, and I in them, will produce much fruit. For apart from me you can do nothing.” John 15:5
