Grow in gace

20 March 2012                                            

2 Peter 3:18 But grow in grace and knowledge of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory, both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.

There are many things that cause change in our lives, so are physical, some are emotional, some are mental, and some are spiritual. These changes are interrelated and each change has a cause. The growth is reflected in the form of change, the more growth the greater the change.

Sometimes we have to change as a result of the aging process, joints crumble, digestion may be more sensitive, and what we could do we now cannot. Often we grumble and see this as a negative, yet it is the way God made us. We grow old, we grow wiser, we grow in our relationships; we can also grow in the negative. So we must always be conscious that not all growth is positive.

The secret to growth is to understand that growth which we can control must always lead to a better person; that which we cannot control we must accept with grace. Wisdom is to know the difference.

Be encouraged today to grow in grace.

David
