Reflection
Growing takes time. There are things God develops little by little, while you learn, mature, and move forward. You do not have to be anxious about having everything figured out today. Being in process does not mean being wrong. God also works in the stages where you are still learning and still discovering who you are.
Moses spent many years in the desert before becoming the leader God would use to lead his people. There were moments when he felt unsure, confused, and even incapable.
When God spoke to him at the burning bush and gave him an important mission, Moses did not answer with confidence. On the contrary, he began listing all the reasons he thought he could not do it. He felt he was not ready.
But God did not only see who Moses was in that moment. He also saw who Moses was becoming.
Sometimes we want everything settled quickly. We want to understand everything, do everything right, and feel prepared for every situation. Yet many of the most important things take time. God works in processes.
There are areas of your life where you are still growing, still learning, still developing. That does not mean you are behind or that something is wrong with you. You do not have to be a finished version of yourself today. God keeps forming good things in your life, even in the moments when you still feel like you are in process.
