Galatians 6:9 (NIV)
“Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.”
It’s something we don’t always say out loud—but many people feel.
Some stories are shared on stages.
Highlighted.
Applauded.
They’re powerful. Visible. Easy to point to and say, “Look what God has done.”
But then there are other stories…
Quieter ones.
Messier ones.
Ongoing ones.
The kind where healing is still happening.
Where answers aren’t fully clear.
Where the ending isn’t tied up neatly.
And those stories?
They often go unnoticed.
Not because they matter less—
but because they don’t fit what we expect a “testimony” to look like.
We tend to celebrate what is visible.
What is complete.
What feels inspiring and easy to share.
But what about the person still in the process?
The one still showing up.
Still praying.
Still trying… even when nothing seems to be changing.
Is that any less powerful?
The truth is, we sometimes value outcomes more than endurance.
We highlight the breakthrough…
but overlook the perseverance.
We celebrate the “after”…
but ignore the “during.”
But God isn’t only present in the finished story.
He’s present in the middle of it too.
In the waiting.
In the struggling.
In the quiet moments no one else sees.
And maybe those testimonies—the unseen ones—are just as meaningful.
Because it takes strength to keep going without recognition.
To keep trusting without clear answers.
To keep believing when the story is still unfolding.
So maybe we need to shift how we see testimony.
Not just as something that’s completed—
but something that’s still being lived.
Because a testimony isn’t only:
“Look what I’ve come out of.”
Sometimes it’s:
“Look how I’m still holding on.”
And that matters too.
So if your story isn’t being celebrated…
if it feels unseen…
if you’re still in the middle of it—
It doesn’t make it less valuable.
It makes it real.
And maybe God isn’t only working in the outcome—
Maybe He’s working in the process you’re still walking through.
