Don’t Stop Growing
It’s hard to believe I’ve published 300 posts on here. Sometimes I wonder if I’m just saying the same thing over and over in various ways. It kinda reminds me of when I was in school and the workbooks would go over and over the topics until I had it down perfectly. Hmm. Maybe that’s why God keeps taking me back to certain topics. With enough study and repetition, I should eventually master the subject He’s trying to teach me.
If you have already mastered what Christ is teaching me, please be patient with me. God’s not finished the work He’s begun and I know that as I draw near to Him, He will continue to move me on and give me new things to share. After all, that’s what growth is. When we first come to God, we’re like babies who knows nothing. We’re totally dependent on our Father to teach us about this new life we’ve entered into.
Before long, we’re given small bites of food and we learn to savor it and digest it. Around that time, we also learn to walk as we hold onto our Father’s hand. The difference between the spiritual and the natural is that we never let go of that hand. As we grow and continually learn of Him and His ways, more is required of us until we rarely fall down when we walk. Occasionally, we may stumble but we become quicker to reach out to Him to pick us up, dust us off and put us right back on the path He’s leading in.
Just as children are eager to grow up, I pray I never stop growing. I may not want to be a giant in physical stature but I want to be one in spiritual stature. I want to have that faith of a mustard seed but I pray I also learn to trust as a child. That is my prayer for you as well. May Christ be the center of everything you do and may you never stop growing.
