Fernando had this vision of a stone worker striking a rock. 100 or 1000 times..boom boom boom boom, over and over and over again and then suddenly, after what seemed like no progress, the rock broke. Was it all about the last Blow?
How often do we stay vigilant until the work is done. How often do we peel off just before the breakthrough? How often do we fail to realize that the delay in completion is exactly where we experience the most growth? Where our character is developed in ways that immediate success simply couldn't have fostered.
We have to believe that every blow counts. Invisible personal progress is happening when conventional proof seems to be illusive.
Now the Hands of this Stone Worker are incredibly strong, His mental fortitude fully developed and his callouses are ready for war. Yes indeed hidden progress has been made, it wasn't the last blow the completed the task. It was all 1000 and 1 mighty faith filled strokes that culminated into success.
