Kingdom Carriers | The Hidden Life We often recognise spiritual growth by what we can see. The fruit.The influence. The opportunities.The things God appears to be doing through someone's life. But Jesus consistently drew attention to something deeper. Before there is fruit above the ground, there must be life beneath it. Roots grow where nobody applauds. They deepen in darkness. They draw nourishment quietly. And for a long time, there may be very little evidence above the surface of what is happening below. Our spiritual lives are much the same. The prayers nobody hears.The choices nobody sees. The forgiveness nobody knows was difficult. The temptation quietly resisted. The Scripture carried in the heart. The obedience that receives no recognition. These things may never become testimonies we tell publicly. But they are forming roots. And perhaps this is where we sometimes misunderstand the Kingdom. We ask God for greater fruit, while He may be working on deeper roots. Jesus said: "Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine." (John 15:4). The Kingdom is not sustained by visibility. It is sustained by abiding. Maybe the question isn't, "What is God doing through me?" Perhaps the deeper question is. "What is God developing within me that nobody else can see?" Because when the roots are deep, we don't have to manufacture the fruit. In its season, it will come.
