Recognizing God's Fruit, Not Feelings

I’m showing you why your "butt hurt" over someone else’s blessing is actually God’s way of exposing your heart's comparison before it turns into pride. I'm breaking down the "Wait vs. No" formula to prove that when God closes a door or subtracts something from your life, He’s actually just making room to multiply you in His perfect timing.
