Let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season, we will reap if we do not give up. Galatians 6:9 (ESV)
In the 1990s, Energizer boldly declared their batteries as the longest-lasting in the market, giving rise to the enduring Energizer Bunny that still captivates audiences today—symbolizing persistence and unyielding energy, it just keeps going and going and going.
Drawing a parallel to Newton's first law of motion, people tend to stay on their current path until influenced by an external force. Effective guidance and discipleship require our ongoing growth to act as that force, propelling them to change direction and gain momentum.
The ability to add value to those we seek to influence relies on continuous learning. Neglecting our own growth depletes our reserves, and our personal development and those under our guidance will halt.
Just as a knife regains sharpness with proper care, maintaining our passion and fostering continuous personal growth ensures our effectiveness and satisfaction. During these moments, our capacity to give flourishes, positively impacting those who rely on us for guidance.
