Jesus Himself was continually growing and learning throughout His time here on earth. “Jesus increased in wisdom” (Luke 2:52). “Though He was a Son, yet He learned obedience by the things which He suffered” (Hebrews 5:8). Your Heavenly Father is constantly seeking to help you grow more and more into His vision of you. “The righteous will flourish… they will grow” (Psalm 92:2).
But how can you grow into all God wants you to be?
· You grow in and through faith. The Apostle Paul told the Christians in Thessalonica how thankful he was that their faith “is growing more and more, and the love all of you have for one another is increasing” (2 Thessalonians 1:3).
· You grow through the problems you face. Every change, no matter how painful, can lead to new challenges and opportunities. Just as exercise strengthens your body, solving your problems with God’s help proves the truth of the Scripture, “They go from strength to strength” (Psalm 84:7).
· You grow through knowledge of God and His Word. “Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation” (1 Peter 2:2). As you spiritually drink the vital milk of God’s Word, you will grow.
God loves you just as you are. But He wants you to “go on to maturity” (Hebrews 6:1).
Be all you can be for Christ!
