Healthy things grow, and growing things change. If we allow fear or doubt or shame or insecurity to hold us back from something new God is calling us to do, we may miss out on his greatest purpose for our life. As believers, we go from strength to strength, from glory to glory. And in order to keep expanding God's kingdom, we have to keep growing and trying new things.

Until we choose to deal with our yesterday today, we're never going to step into tomorrow.

We have been created for God and by God to transform the world around us.

Your history doesn't need to dictate your destiny

You do what you want to for Passion, you do what you have to for Obligation.

The biblical model is that God deliberately chooses imperfect vessels - those who have been wounded, those with physical or emotional limitations. Then he prepares them to serve and sends them out with their weakness still evident, so that his strength can be made perfect in that weakness.

God prunes us when He is about to take us into a new season of growth and expansion.
