Have you ever seen a seed? Did you know that that seed will eventually grow to become a full plant, and that will lay several more seeds that will become plants and etc.? So yeah a seed grows to a plant and it lays more seeds so what? Well do you think that that seed has any idea it's going to do any of that? Probably not. That seed has many progressions it has to go through before it can become that seed-bearing plant. First it has to be planted in the ground, and then it was to be continually watered and fed with sunlight. With those things it will progress to become a small plant with maybe 1 or 2 leaves. Later as the new plant continues to take in sunlight and water, it will grow and grow until it is a full plant. Now what if that seed had just said "No, it's too hard to lean my leaves toward the sunlight." Do you think that that seed would have grown? No it wouldn't.
As a gymnast, my life is full of progressions. In gymnastics one has to go through several progressions before they can achieve a skill, and usually that skill is another progression to achieve another skill. These progressions all help me achieve a better and better skill. Now a lot of times the progressions I'm forced to go through are difficult, and I really don't want to do them. Such as lately I've been having to learn a full in between some whips on floor, and well the progressions I've had to do to get there are very hard and very scary. When I first learned I had to i was really scared, and i really didn't want to try the progressions. Well I finally did and now i have that full in the middle, but had I decided not to, I would not be as good as I am today.
In life every breath we take is a progression for better things in life. EVERY BREATH!!! If we just decided breathing was too hard then we would not live for very long. Now that might not be a hard progression, but it is just as important. Even if you are up against a progression that isn't as hard as flipping in the air, it is just as important towards your walk with God and your walk through life. So lets all be like the seed who worked through the progressions of his life and became the plant who dispersed many more seeds who will follow in his footsteps.
