Growth

Bible Quotation

"But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ." 2 Peter 3:18

What is 'grace' for Christians?

How do you learn more of his Grace?

Is 'knowledge' just intellectual?

Who do you know who is 'Growing'?

Have you been growing this year?

What has contributed to that?

Are there any incentives to grow?

• Grace is the refinement of our state of being, our mind our soul our heart. It is like the free flowing waters of a clear stream which continually refreshes and shows us the journey and how to live the journey. It brings us closer to God as we walk each day.
• Grace comes as we begin to walk a closer walk with God, as we read His words and Pray and open heartedly accept His will for ourselves.
• I believe Knowledge is only ever information till it is given to another. There for Knowledge is more than just information it is knowing and understanding and accepting often by Faith do we really have Knowledge for with out the effort of Faith as we reach for the light switch does the light turn on. So to we now have the knowledge by reaching out to switch the switch will turn the light on.. It is like that for a Christian, with out the Faith to reach out and accept Jesus Christ the Light of God will never turn on even though we may have great amount of information on the subject, we have not got knowledge. We may understand intellectually but we have no Faith in that information. Just as a mathematician has to test and use his equations to prove they are right, first they have faith to challenge what they now know to come to their conclusion.
• I know that I am growing each day as God molds me and makes me as He wants me to be..Only when we are open to His WILL shall we grow in Grace.
• There have been times when I have notice great growth, and other times when I feel there has been no growth. Just as a garden sometimes need to lay without growth do I acknowledge that I need to lay dormant for the next growth spurt. As I stop and take in what God has to teach me then I begin to grow, often I may be in need of pruning to be able to grow as He wishes me to.
• Stopping and listening to God...not just hearing...but stopping and actively desiring to Know that He is in control and not I, then reading the Bible and Praying shows me the way to grow.
• The incentive to growing is the knowing and understanding of just where I am and where my journey may be from day to day. It can be the smile on my face, the warmth in my heart and the power in my words.

Lord let me Grow in your  Grace each and every day of my journey here on earth that I may fulfil the Journey you have made for me here.
