📝 - @speerandarrows ⇠follow! . Spiritual growth takes time and it is done under the surface. In order for God to do a great work through our lives He must first do a work within us. . He is uprooting disbelief. He is pulling sinful weeds that have overgrown and taken root within our hearts. We often feel the sharp sting as He prunes us but the end result is worth the growing pains. He cuts away the dead in order to give us new life. . “Every branch in me that does not bear fruit he takes away, and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes, that it may bear more fruit” (John 15:2) — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/34AnEsc
May I be released from wanting anything that isn’t meant for me.
“Anything you want in love you should have. If you want someone to send you flowers just because it’s Tuesday, you should have that. If you want someone to write you love letters, you should have that. If you want someone who looks at you like the sun rises and sets because of you, you should have that. In life, we often have to settle for “okay” or “good enough”, love should not be one of those things.”

We feel the pain and loss now, and we do not see the end from the beginning, as God does, yet God tells us that the sufferings we have to endure in this world are not worthy to be compared with the glory He has laid up for His people in heaven (Rom. 8:18).

I am sad, but I’m not joyless I am brokenhearted, but I still have love to give. I am cast down, but I will rise again. I am weak, but He is strong.
I’ve been starting to hear and see God more lately simply by asking Him to open up my eyes and ears to see Him more. It’s as simple as asking because when we ask, we receive.Â

It’s a beautiful thing to be able to tell yourself “I don’t have to be strong right now because God is strong.”
