“ Growth comes in the aftermath of failure, not wild success. ”
Growth comes from God, to those with surrendered, yielded hearts.
~ Mary E. Demuth
We don’t like death. We’d rather produce seeds another way. But death to ourselves, our agendas, our expectations, our hopes is necessary to find deep joy that comes when we fully relinquish ourselves to the gospel.
The roadblocks to growth and joy come when we forget the bigness of God & instead make people bigger than He is.
Because the culture we breathe and work in rushes against rest. It equates our worth with production and wealth and fame. The more we work toward those goals, the more society assigns us worth.
