Yet what freedom knowing this can bring! We can add one part, someone else does another, but only God is in charge of the results. Sometimes we don\u2019t grow because we don\u2019t allow others to water our lives; sometimes we think we\u2019re not growing when, in actuality, we\u2019re measuring the wrong things. Yet when we realize that only God causes growth, then we can be content to serve others without feeling the pressure to produce something that only God can do.\u00a0 ~ Dave Whitehead, Senior Pastor, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gracenyc.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">GraceNYC.org<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"ylb-container\" style=\"background-color:E6E6E6\">\n                   <a href=\"#\" class=\"ylb-close\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/iowawebnet.com\/havefaith\/wp-content\/plugins\/mtx-license-plugin\/images\/close-icon.png\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t   <p><div style=\"background-color: #F8F8F8; color: #3B5D9B; font-style: italic;  font-size: 10px;\">\r\n<fieldset style=\"border: #FFF dotted 1px;\" >\r\n<legend><strong>Iowa Web Network<\/strong><\/legend>\r\n<span style=\"padding-left: 15px;\">This article is subject to Creative Common License.
