Takes time

Remember the game, Hangman? You had to guess letters to fill the spaces of a word or a phrase your opponent thought up. If you were right you got to choose another letter, but if you were wrong a body part was drawn to form the hangman. This game reminded me of our spiritual growth and that, it too, takes time.

You can't just plant a seed. You have to tend to the seed with water and sun. You have to protect it from the elements that can bring it harm. You have to have patience because the process from seed to plant takes time.

Spirituality is like that. If you tend to it, you will see the reward. If you give up on it, you have to do the work to "replant" it in order to see the reward. It will come together, one enlightened moment at a time, but you will get there if you stay the course. Be patient. It is worth the wait. <3
