Esther used to think growth would always be visible,
Loud achievements, big moments, clear signs that God was moving.
But then came a season where everything went silent.
No new job, no big news, just quiet days that all looked the same.
At first, she panicked. “God, am I stuck?” she asked.
But what she didn’t know was that stillness doesn’t mean stagnation,
it often means transformation.
There’s a quiet side to becoming that no one claps for.
It’s when you’re learning discipline,
when you’re healing from what broke you,
when you’re unlearning old ways to make room for new grace.
It doesn’t look exciting, it looks hidden.
But that’s where true growth happens.
The seed doesn’t make noise when it grows.
It breaks quietly, roots deeply, and rises slowly.
That’s how God grows you too.
So if your life feels quiet right now, no spotlight, no announcement,
don’t despise it.
Heaven is still writing your story, even in silence.
The quiet side of becoming is sacred.
It’s where God strengthens what applause cannot reach.
And when it’s time,
the version of you that emerges will surprise even you.
Because it was never about being seen,
it was about becoming who you were meant to be.
