Growth

Growth is a result of lessons learned throughout life’s journey.  Everything happens for a reason to propel us to grow in ways that challenge our comfort zone.  Growing can be a painful process but the end result is priceless.  There comes a time in life when we become thankful for every challenge.  They open our eyes to a new reality confirming God is in control of every situation.  Our God promises to "never put more on us than we can bear.”

Despite what's going on in your life right now, God is able to “do exceedingly abundantly above all that we may ask or think.”  God's challenging us to look to him, to see him as the answer to a hopeless situation.  In his time, clarity will come.  You will begin to see a brighter day and start living in your purpose.  You will see every single obstacle as a piece of the puzzle making up this journey called life.
It’s such a blessing to be in a peaceful state, knowing God is in control, knowing you are not alone, knowing he’s there to deliver you from the hand of your enemies.  Remember, when you come out of your challenges victoriously, your test becomes a testimony of God’s favor in your life.  Don’t be afraid of the capacity God sees in you.  It's the road map to your divine destiny!
