You're making good choices, you're doing the work, you're trying your best to honor
God, love people and grow, and still things feel hard.
The doors aren't opening, the stress isn't lifting, and deep down you're asking, why
isn't this working?
First, breathe.
This doesn't mean you're doing something wrong.
Sometimes the right path is the uphill one.
Struggle doesn't always mean misalignment.
Sometimes it's preparation, sometimes it's spiritual resistance, and sometimes it's just
what growth feels like.
You're not being punished, you are being refined.
God sees what you're doing behind the scenes, the obedience, the integrity, the tears you
don't post about.
And while it may not feel like it yet, it matters.
It all matters.
This is not a detour, this is deep work, and deep work takes time.
You're building something stronger than a quick win.
You're building endurance, wisdom, grit, and legacy.
Don't give up just because it's taking longer than you thought.
Don't measure success by ease.
Stay rooted, stay faithful, let this season do what it came to do.
It's working, even if you can't see it yet.
