The Price of Faith. The Joy of Perseverance

When you walk through acts of faith, something happens to you that you cannot explain.

That frustration.

That discomfort of not knowing if you are doing the right thing or not.

That changes you.

God is meeting you at the edge of your limits and pushing you beyond them.

And what occurs in that process?

Your name has changed.

Your nature.

Who you are down to the core is transformed.

You are no longer the same person you once were. 

Anons have been walking on a path that is as mentally taxing as any I've seen for a group of people. 

On the surface, it is hard to tell if we will win. But we have a choice to make. 

And many have been choosing to believe that we will not lose but win.

Something struck me as I planted seeds on my lawn the other day. 

Hypothetically, 

If you had never planted seeds before and you knew nothing about gardening. Would that period of time waiting and watering be one of certainty?

Of course not.

If weeks go by without a single sign of a sprout growing, you will begin to question whether you were wasting away your time. 

What I am trying to say is this:

That fog is a burden when you are pioneering a way forward for the next generation. 

Not knowing is part of the cross that changes who you are. 

Anons have been pushing forward through this uncertain precipice. 

We are watering seeds and planting them for awakening in others. It is uncertain if everything we are doing is all for naught. 

But one day, the labor of love begins to bloom. Your faith is justified as that seed breaks through the dirt. 

Sometimes faith requires a leap from whence you cannot return. 

That is where we have been. 

But one day your cup of joy will be filled when you see the fruit of your labors. When you witness what God had in mind for your life.

These lessons pertain to anything you have believed in from God. Whether it is about your career, your family, your health. 

We are all believing God for something. 

And sometimes those promises linger on day after day and we feel faint in our certainty. 

My encouragement to you is to keep watering, keep believing, and never give up hope. One day you'll have a garden rivaling Eden, whether here on earth or in heaven. 

Your faith piles up treasures worth being proud of and God is with you in the waiting. 

That waiting is transforming your very DNA. 

Don't skip that journey for anything in the world.

Water your faith and walk through this one step at a time.
