But God does not prepare people according to social media timelines. He does not need applause to be working, an audience to develop an anointing or public attention to shape someone for purpose. There are seasons when God hides you, not because He is ashamed of you, but because He is protecting what He is building in you.

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.
