Christians Undergoing Growth.

Jude 1:20-21
20 But you, dear friends, must build each other up in your most holy faith, pray in the power of the Holy Spirit, 21 and await the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ, who will bring you eternal life. In this way, you will keep yourselves safe in God’s love.


Part of life's purpose is growth. Technically, I guess it's a life-long process that never stops. An infant develops into a toddler, then a child, then a pre-teen, then a teen, then a young adult, and then an adult.

Your spiritual life is very much the same. Except you set the stages...it's not as natural as human growth. You basically determine how much you grow by your actions and words, and everything in between, the amount in which you grow. You can even lose some of your spiritual motivation. You'll have some really good days and some really bad days. Hopefully you will have more good days than bad days and the general trend of your spiritual life will be growth and not decline.

Nonetheless, it's still a never ending process. It's a relationship with God. As you grow, you definitely become more in tune and in focus with God; you also love him more and more. It's a great ability and he wants to see it happen. He may know you already, but he wants to you more and be right beside you...wherever you go!

I pray that you are growing in faith.
