As apple trees produce apples, tested faith produces the sustaining fruit of perseverance. This is hard but good, and there’s value in learning not to interfere with my growth or the growth of another.
Instead, I can:
- pray for insight
- practice doing nothing and wait
- relax and stay in the moment
- focus on getting healthier.
- I can remember that trying to hurry forward shoots me in the foot.
- I can resist the temptation to compare my insides with the outsides of another
- I can remember I am exactly where God has me. Here is where my next step originates.
