God is constantly working to elevate us from our current position to a higher level in Him. This elevation process often involves discomfort as God applies pressure to reveal what's in our hearts and remove impurities that hold us back. Many Christians struggle to live from their elevated position because they define themselves by their feelings rather than God's truth. God's elevation is progressive, moving us through stages of growth, but we must avoid settling for mediocrity, holding onto past disappointments, or refusing to forgive those who hurt us. By embracing God's elevation process, we can experience the abundant life He promises.
