THE MAIN THEME: WHEN DO I GET THERE?

TITLE: EMBRACING PROGRESS OVER PERFECTION

The quote for today’s devotional is: "Little by little, the bird builds its nest."

— African Proverb

Devotional:
This African proverb beautifully captures the essence of consistent effort and patience in our journey toward growth. Have you ever seen a bird trying to build its nest? It gathers twigs, leaves, and other materials, slowly and methodically. These bits and pieces come together to form a beautiful and intricate design which later houses the bird. We too can approach our personal and spiritual development one step at a time. The process of building a nest takes time and diligence, our reminder that meaningful results are often achieved through gradual, persistent effort.

While we live in a world that often prioritizes quick results and instant gratification, this proverb is a powerful reminder that true growth is a journey. 

Dear friends, be encouraged to embrace each small step, no matter how insignificant it may seem, because these steps accumulate over time and lead to significant achievements. 

Perfection is not the goal; rather, it's the progress we make, the lessons we learn, and the experiences we gather along the way that define our paths.

Here are a few reflective questions:

• What small steps can I take today toward my goals, even if they seem insignificant?
• How can I remind myself that growth is a journey, and it's okay to not have everything figured out immediately?
• In what areas of my life have I been seeking immediate results instead of appreciating the gradual process?

Let Us Pray:
Heavenly Father, thank you for reminding me that growth is a journey, not a race. Help me to embrace each step with gratitude, trusting that you are guiding my path. When I feel discouraged, remind me that you are working in me, even through the small, daily progress I make.

Please say these words of affirmation. Say them, mean them, own them and live them:

• God knows when I will get there.
• I am growing every day, even in my imperfections.
• I celebrate progress, not perfection, in my journey.
• I trust the process of growth, knowing that I am becoming who I am meant to be.

Do have a fulfilling day. Take good care of yourself and see you tomorrow!
