Galatians 5:22-23
“It doesn’t matter who plants the seed or who waters the seed. The Lord makes it grow.” 1 Corinthians 3:6-7
We aren't commanded to bear fruit. We are commanded to abide. Abiding is doing more by doing less.
“Some thoughts are seeds that have been planted. Others are weeds born from our own soil. Either way, don't water what you don't want to grow.” Jackie Hill Perry
“Nothing is more painful to the branch or irresponsible of the Gardner than to avoid pruning.” Beth Moore “Chasing Vines”
"Sit with women who sit at the feet of Jesus. The conversations are different. You walk away feeling inspired not inferior because those are women who know that this Christian walk is a race to God, but not a competition with others." - Purposeful Women Co
