Have you wished and prayed for some certain virtues, skills or discipline? Then you've put yourself through the process and it doesn't seem like you're going anywhere? Well, most time, as John Ortberg said in his book, "the life you've always wanted," . ..God sometimes graciously hides our own growth from our eyes. God does so because of our tendency to become proud. So, as you keep believing, keep grinding, those virtues are forming, ever so silently.
