God Grows It.

Sometimes we get lucky and good things just fall into our lap. But for something truly great to happen in our lives, typically there is a huge amount of work involved. A flicker in our mind or a flutter in our heart that later becomes a huge part of who we are and what we're about is greatly dependent on our efforts to make it happen. Yet it seems we still need a little bit of that luck…

We strive to control environments while at the same time realizing that there is very little we can actually control. Sometimes in our struggle to rise above we miss one of the great mysteries of the Kingdom…

God is the one who actually does the growing.

Growth can be manipulated, accelerated, or even halted, but it cannot be forced.
