By observing nature do you see that growth is a process that takes time? This is a universal pattern. Is it an article of faith for you that salvation occurs in an instant? But these are different concepts. Have you noticed in yourself and others that spiritual growth takes time, just like every other form of growth? You can plant and water others and yourself, and you should strive for favorable conditions, but even under the best of circumstances time is still required. Be patient. This process takes a lifetime. Trust me to complete the good work I have begun in you. The master gardener knows what he is doing.
