Some periods of our growth are so confusing that we don’t even recognize that growth is happening. We may feel hostile or angry or weepy and hysterical, or we may feel depressed. It would never occur to us, unless we stumbled on a book or a person who explained to us, that we were in fact in the process of change, of actually becoming larger, spiritually, than we were before. Whenever we grow, we tend to feel it, as a young seed must feel the weight and inertia of the earth as it seeks to break out of its shell on its way to becoming a plant. Often the feeling is anything but pleasant. But what is most unpleasant is the not knowing what is happening. Those long periods when something inside ourselves seems to be waiting, holding its breath, unsure about what the next step should be, eventually become the periods we wait for, for it is in those periods that we realize that we are being prepared for the next phase of our life and that, in all probability, a new level of the personality is about to be revealed.

We’ve never seen Jesus offended, not because He’s Jesus, but because He’s love. Love holds no account of a suffered wrong. It’s not self-seeking. He’s our example.

Lord Jesus, please help me learn. :-(

Jesus expected the most of every man and woman; and behind their grumpiest poses, their most puzzling defense mechanisms, their coarseness, their arrogance, their dignified airs, their silence, and their sneers and curses, Jesus sees a little child who wasn’t loved enough—a least of these who had ceased growing because someone had ceased believing in them.

Wake up every morning and go to bed each night reminding yourself that 1) Jesus knows what’s best for your heart and 2) He will provide your heart with exactly what it needs. This simple reminder can change your whole life.

It is amazing how clear things become when we are still before Him, not complaining, not insisting on quick answers, only seeking to hear His word in the stillness, and to see things in His light.

At the end of the day, I want my heart to look like Jesus, my love to look like Jesus, & my life to look like Jesus. Even when it’s hard, even when it hurts, even when the world calls me crazy & hates me for it. How could I withhold anything from the One who endlessly, relentlessly pursues me, pushes through my mess to the deepest parts of the soul that He formed, & speaks over my life that I’m His? When I start to grow weary of fighting the good fight, it’s Jesus that carries me on the front lines. It’s Jesus who brings restoration to deeper pain than I knew I was capable of feeling. It’s Jesus who loved me before I knew what love looked like. It’s always been Jesus, & for me, it will always be Jesus.

please be gentle with yourself. you’re trying. if it’s taking you longer than you thought to achieve something or get somewhere that’s okay. try not to compare yourself to others too much because not everyone gets to where they need to be right away. you’re alive that’s what matters. keep trying. you’ll get there.
