You Are Not Buried, You've Been Planted

When we find ourselves in that so-called dark place, it’s easy to despair. It’s easy to convince ourselves that things will not get better. Not soon. Not ever. The oppression can even feel like we’ve been buried. But remember that it may seem like we’ve been buried; however, we may actually have been planted. And that which is planted is destined for growth. So embrace the growth. In fact, it may be that the growth would have never been possible without the hardship that preceded it.
