God uses an infinite number of vehicles in the process of helping us grow. I do not know of any means that leads to instant growth. I’ve never met anyone who became instantly mature. It’s a painstaking process that God takes us through, and it includes such things as waiting, failing, losing, and being misunderstood—each one calling for extra doses of perseverance. Christian growth comes through hard-core, gutsy perseverance. ~ Charles Swindoll
