Rejoice in the Journey

Rejoice in the Journey

When you look at a tiny seed, you may not know what kind of plant it will be when it is in full bloom. You may not recognize whether that seed will grow to be a giant redwood tree, or a delicate little wildflower. However, as I have created each and every seed, I know every single aspect of that plant, in each stage of its growth and also in its fullness. So it is with you and the call I have given you, my child. It may be hard to distinguish what you are at this point in time, and the feedback from others around you may only serve to discourage you, however know that I see you in the fullness of how I have lovingly made you.
I rejoice in all the stages of growth that you are to encounter, and there is a blessing in each one. So know that I know exactly who you are, in each and every tiny detail. Do not be discouraged in the unfinished work, but rejoice in the journey of becoming what I have always envisioned you to be, the image of my Son.
So take my hand, and embrace each and every moment, in each and every stage of growth. I love you for all your mistakes and failures as well as your successes and victories, and know that I am at your side every single step of the journey.
