Cultivating Patience & Letting Go of Predictable Outcomes | Spiritual Gardening for Renewal

In this sermon, we reflect on Luke 13:1-9, where Jesus shares a parable about a fig tree that is given time to bear fruit, teaching us the value of patience and the necessity of grace in the process of growth. The sermon highlights how cultivating patience involves letting go of the need for predictable outcomes and trusting in God’s timing and purpose. Drawing on Brené Brown’s *The Gifts of Imperfection*, we are reminded that embracing uncertainty and letting go of perfection allows space for growth and transformation. By practicing patience, we learn to trust that God is working in us, even when the results are not immediate or predictable.
