Quote by Vance Havner

Sometimes your medicine bottle has on it, 'Shake well before using.' That is what God has to do with some of His people. He has to shake them well before they are ever usable.

Sometimes your medicine bottle has on it, 'Shake well before

Summary

This quote suggests that God sometimes needs to challenge and test individuals before they can reach their potential. Similar to shaking a medicine bottle, which ensures the ingredients are mixed and effective, God shakes people to help them grow and become useful in fulfilling their purpose. These trials and hardships are necessary in shaping individuals into stronger, wiser, and more resilient human beings. Through adversity, individuals are able to develop qualities and skills that can be used to make a positive impact on the world.

One of the most important phases of maturing is that of growth from self-centering to an understanding relationship to others. A person is not mature until he has both an ability and a willingness to see himself as one among others and to do unto those others as he would have them do to him.
