“That one a thief not having come except so as that one might have stolen, then might have killed, then might have perished. I came that they may have life, then they may be extraordinary.”
— John 10:10 (2020 New Testament)
To thrive doesn’t mean life is perfect. It means that in the tension—in the “already but not yet”—we’re rooted in something deeper. True thriving happens not in the absence of pain, but in the presence of God. Not to merely exist, but to Be Extraordinary.
The sacred tension of thriving is learning to rejoice while waiting, to build while healing, and to hope even when answers delay. It is trusting that God’s pace is part of His provision and resting within His mighty arms.
You are not disqualified by struggle. In fact, you are being shaped in the secret place to bring forth perpetual fruit that will last.
Always Perpetuing:
Pause today and ask: Where am I being invited to thrive—not just survive? Embrace the tension. Abide in His brilliance. Let your thriving be a testimony to the God who finishes what He starts.
