The Hidden Years

“Your Father who sees in secret will repay you.” — Matthew 6:6

Before the crown, before the exile, there were years of formation — prayer, study, and quiet growth. God prepared Karl from his youth in ways no one could see. We often overlook the seasons of life that seem uneventful. Yet it is there that the foundations are laid. What appears hidden is never wasted in God’s plan.

Blessed Karl, sanctify the unseen work of our lives. Amen.
