Growth is such a painful but rewarding process.
A caterpillar must risk shedding off its maturing layers in order to blossom into a beautiful butterfly. David of the Psalms fame must face Goliath before he’d become a future king of Israel. Joseph had to suffer being thrown inside a deep well before he’d become the right hand of Pharaoh. Yahshua our Messiah had to fulfill his mission and die for our sins prior to sitting on the right hand of Almighty Yahweh.
Without David’s episodes with Goliath, he’d still be a shepherd. Had Joseph not have been a subject of envy among his brethren, he’d not become a high ranking official in Egypt. Had Yahshua our Savior did not go through what he had to go through, no one would be saved and the evil one would have triumphed.
Growth in anything — personal or family life, career and other similar competition anyone is faced with — is almost always preceded by a period (or periods) of challenges.
So my dear friends, press on, hang on, keep praying for strength and endurance, because growth is on the way.
