Wounds heal from the inside out. We can’t see the inside of that healing process, but we can trust the healing process when we yield to it.

It’s like when you physically injure yourself that causes a wound that eventually scabs over through the healing process as the body sends repairers of the breach in the…

Pride is like a brick wall. God cannot bless you through it. Proverbs 6:17 tells us that God hates even a prideful look.
