  Hello Brave Hearted Steppers,  In the journey of life, each of us is called to grow spiritually, but sometimes it can feel like the progress is slow or even nonexistent. You might find yourself wondering: When will I see the fruit of my labor? Why does it take so long for growth to appear? But here’s the truth: growth takes time. Just like a seed that must be buried in the soil, watered, nurtured, and given sunlight, our spiritual growth follows a similar pattern. The apostle Paul reminds us in Galatians 6:9 :  "Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up." This verse is a powerful invitation to trust in the process and to embrace God’s perfect timing in our lives. The Seed of Faith At the beginning of our spiritual journey, it’s like planting a seed. When we first come to know Christ, the seed of faith is planted deep within us. But just like any seed, it’s not immediately visible. It’s hidden under the ...

  “So let’s not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t give up.” ‭‭Galatians‬ ‭6‬:‭9‬ ‭NLT‬‬ Hello Brave Hearted Steppers! What an amazing reflection we have for this month! If we don’t give up….that is the key factor as I meditated on this month’s verse. How many times have we felt like God has left us? Especially, in the times when we believe we’re doing good and serving God and we wonder where is the reward? Where is God!? We wonder, why hasn’t God stepped in and changed our situation? Why hasn’t He answered our prayers? How long do we need to endure before we see His promises? One thing—I am learning in this season of my life is that in my weariness—God may seem like He’s not working because my situation hasn’t changed. But, it wasn’t until this past Sunday that God made me aware that not everything is not about me! Those were hard words to soak in because as His daughter, I thought it was about me and what I want....
