Nick reminds us of what it is to be unseen and overlooked. A place deeply precious to God. Throughout scripture of accounts of those trained, matured and anointed in private, not public. Like the Shepard Tree which survives the harshest summers in the Kalahari  because it's roots grow down further than any tree. Prioritizing downward growth over above ground growth. It's leaves are nourishment and medicinal. Are we comparing our roots growing to other's visible trees? Hiddeness is not rejection, it is preparation for times ahead. Underground work becomes visible strength. We trust you would be encouraged if you are in a season of feeling unseen that you would submit to God, lean into and embrace growth.
