Favor will grow on you when you use what you go through, not to slow you, but to grow you!
The thought behind the quote
What matters most in your life is not what you experience, but how you choose to respond to those experiences. In Genesis 50, Joseph speaks to his brothers after years of betrayal, hardships, and unjust suffering. They had sold him into slavery, and he faced numerous setbacks—yet God turned all those negative experiences into something that saved countless lives. Joseph chose to trust God, to rise above his circumstances, and to see God's hand at work even in the darkest times. Instead of allowing what happened to slow him down, Joseph allowed it to grow him.
