Sometimes growth doesn’t stall because it’s neglected—but because it’s contained. Scripture reminds us that formation is not produced by striving harder, but by sinking roots deeper. The invitation is not to do more, but to release what limits growth and trust God with the slow, faithful work of transformation.
One of the ways we begin to recognize the gifts God has placed in us is when someone else sees it before we do. Scripture shows us that God often uses shepherds, mentors, and trusted voices to name what we can’t yet articulate in ourselves. Gift discovery doesn’t always begin with certainty—it often begins with trust.
