I want to cultivate people

I want to plant people, water them, and remove the weeds so that they can grow.
I wish to see them grow into strong, mighty trees with deep roots that can resist storms and droughts.
I desire to lend my shoulders for them to stand and do better than I’ve ever done.
I yearn to see them flower and produce great fruit.
I long to see them flourish and be fruitful in season and out of season.

Just the thought of helping the seed of greatness in people grow and bloom gives me joy.
The thought of helping people achieve their full potential and live out their calling delights me.
Seeing people I have invested in succeed gives me a high, a rapturous joy, an ecstasy that is priceless.

That is what I want. It is my prayer.

What do you want?
