I think a lot of us assume that once we get saved, everything is supposed to become easy.
And honestly, I used to think that too.
But salvation isn’t the end of the transformation. It’s the beginning of one.
The closer I get to God, the more I’m realizing He doesn’t just reveal what I need Him to fix around me. Sometimes He reveals what’s happening inside of me.
I’ve been dealing with repairs around my house for the last few days—leaks, AC issues, things I had to figure out, things I couldn’t fix myself, and things where I eventually had to ask for help.
And I started thinking about how much that looks like our walk with God.
Sometimes you don’t need more.
Sometimes something needs to be cleaned out.
Sometimes something needs to be repaired.
Sometimes you need to let something go.
And sometimes you need to humble yourself and let somebody help you.
That’s why I’m learning to pray:
“God, expose the leaks.”
Expose the places in me that need work.
Expose my impatience.
Expose my pride.
Expose the things I’m holding onto.
Show me what’s mine to repair and give me the humility to ask for help where I can’t.
That’s a dangerous prayer because God may actually answer it.
But I’m learning that’s what growth looks like.
Not perfection.
Transformation.
“…the path of the righteous is like the light of dawn, which shines brighter and brighter…” — Proverbs 4:18
I’m still learning. I’m still being cleaned up. I’m still being transformed.
And thankfully, I don’t have to do it alone.
