Real people don’t overcome their flaws in a single moment. They wrestle with them. They repeat them. They trip over them again and again until something finally forces them to change. And your characters should feel the same way.

God develops His greatest warriors in secret places. He strengthens His champions in shadows, not stages. The shadows are not your punishment —they are your preparation. God hides you to shape you. He shields you to strengthen you. He shelters you to sharpen you. Everything He is building in you right now is happening away from public eyes — but it is not wasted. Heaven sees everything you’re becoming.
