In the midst of life’s challenges, it’s essential to remember that not every struggle is warfare; sometimes, it’s God’s way of stretching you and enlarging your capacity for His glory, for your kingdom assignment, and His blessings.

Scripture reminds us in Isaiah 40:31 (NIV): “But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.” Just as an eagle’s wings need stretching to soar to greater heights, your faith and character are being stretched for a purpose far beyond what you can imagine.

These moments of growth may be uncomfortable, even painful, but they are also profoundly prophetic. They are a sign that you are being prepared for something magnificent. Take heart and find encouragement in this time of stretching, growth, and transformation. You are not being broken. You are being shaped, refined, and readied by God for a future filled with promise and purpose.

Continue to remain faithful and obedient, and continue to trust in Christ. Your enlargement is coming through this. You’re being stretched to capacity because God is expanding, enlarging, and increasing you and your territory.

His faithful servant,

Kiara
