The history behind this quote references many types of persecution and oppression that has happened in our world. I love this quote because it is empowering when thinking about all of our smaller, personal struggles.
When you think about seeds in their raw form, they don’t look at all like what they will become. They stay buried in dirt, devoid of any evidence of growth or change. They may remain dormant for a long time. But they are there, just beneath the surface, evolving in ways we cannot see yet.
It takes certain conditions, like nutrients in the ground, sunlight, water and most importantly, time, for the seeds to truly transform into something beautiful. They have to abandon their smaller form of a seed and trust that the process of growing and evolving will yield a better, stronger version of themselves – even though they remain beneath the surface for a period of time.
Creation can be quiet. Struggle allows us to develop the strength we will need once we have fully transformed.
If you are in a dark place right now, don’t give up. This is part of the process of creating something amazing. There is a plan for your transformation, and you will emerge more magnificent than you ever thought possible.
