Growth

Growth is a messy thing, a rough and jagged thing.

Not very linear, erratic in motion, the push and pull has its own vibration

Growth is a painful thing, requires self-denial and restraint

Isn't always easy to embrace. 

Its tools are trials, pain, heartache

Hard lessons that will be repeated if not learned 

The process will have you swaying forward and backward but now you have your rhythm

Honestly, sometimes you don't recognize the change

As you proceed to go about your day-to-day

With small steps,

Small acts of kindness

Perseverance when hope seems silent

Consistency 

You kept on climbing

Building your muscle

Admitted your wrongs

Active in  your progress

You are not easily offended anymore

You welcome correction now

You look forward to being molded 

by the Potter's hand

You trust His plan

Because You know His ways are Higher 

Take a look in the mirror now

You are not the same

You are not the same 

So even when you feel like you have failed

Like you do not measure up

When you think that time has left you, that's too late

Remember how far you have come

Remember how far God has brought You 

Remind yourself that He is not done

He is still carrying you

Hope. Hope, Hope
