Leaves unfurl little by little. It doesn’t happen overnight. It takes time and light and warmth and good soil and water. At first, they are tightly wrapped. Then one small tip unfolds and then another until they are completely unfurled.
We unfurl little by little, too. It doesn’t happen overnight. It takes time and light and warmth and good soil and water. It’s hard to imagine now what we will look like completely unfurled.
Father, when I get impatient with myself or ______ today, please remind me that we are both still unfurling.
“[W]hat we will be has not yet been revealed.” 1 John 3:2
