Growth will stretch you. It will frustrate you. It may even upset you but it is necessary to move you from point A to point B.
Look at babies and how quickly they grow. However it is needed in order for them to reach adulthood. God wants us to grow too.
Are you growing, today?
Facts about growth:
- To grow something needs to die. You need to let go and say goodbye to certain things in order to move into the new thing that God has for you.
- It is inconvenient. Growth will force you to make changes, lose some friends, give up some old habits. Pretty much things we won't want to do.
- To grow we must stand the pressure of hard work. Growth and laziness do not go hand in hand.

Whoa, I needed to hear this. I have been trying to lose a significant amount of weight for half my life and I realize that it's laziness and not wanting to deal with the pain of pushing my body and depriving myself that's holding me back.
ReplyDeleteBut I do want to accomplish this goal...I have to accept that pain will be involved.
