The Subtraction That Adds

Let’s not be of the mindset to immediately decide we are under Satan’s attack when a concern or criticism is brought our way.  It may be that someone saw or experienced something that we need to recognize.  Just because something is painful to hear and uncomfortable to admit doesn’t mean that it is not a gift that has come our way for our further growth and maturity.  He does not intend to shame us, but He invites us to be continually willing to bring ourselves before Him, humbly and honestly, for further transformation. Growth in plants comes by watering and sunshine, but also by pruning and grafting.  His work in us is not so different.
