Some of the best things in life grow little by little, which means that we need to have patience and perseverance. Some problems seem much too big for us to handle. But many of those problems can be overcome if we take things one step at a time. It can be very difficult to take things one step at a time. Nobody likes to wait for the things that we want. We like to have things RIGHT NOW, but if we are patient and put in the time and effort required to grow, we can achieve some pretty great things! It can be hard to wait, but Jesus would love to help you have patience and perseverance as you learn and grow every day!
