Be Joyful.
Grow To Maturity.
Encourage Each Other.
Grow to maturity. Babies are cute when they are babies, but growing up is huge! Our granddaughter Amelie turned two years old on November 7th. She got to go to Disney World! You only turn 2 years old once in your life! She had a party here at our house and she got to celebrate with all of her cousins. It was a lot of fun. Amelie is growing up. And we really don’t want her to stay a baby. We want her to grow to maturity! God has a plan and a purpose for her life just as God has a plan and a purpose for your life.
Scripture
11 Dear brothers and sisters, I close my letter with these last words: Be joyful. Grow to maturity. Encourage each other. Live in harmony and peace. Then the God of love and peace will be with you.
Observation
Grow
to maturity. Babies are cute when they are babies, but growing up is huge! Our
granddaughter Amelie turned two years old on November 7th. She got
to go to Disney World! You only turn 2 years old once in your life! She had a
party here at our house and got to celebrate with all of her cousins. It was a
lot of fun.
Amelie
is growing up. And we really don’t want her to stay a baby. We want her to grow
to maturity! God has a plan and a purpose for her life just as God has a plan
and a purpose for your life and for my life.
God
never wants us to stop growing. He wants us to grow to maturity.
It
is sad when I see people that have stopped growing. When I run into a “know it
all” or when I run into someone who has quit challenging themselves to grow!
Going to church and being involved in a life group and digging into God’s Word
help us grow in Christ!
Life
at least for a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ is all about growing and being
stretched.
So
I close this short blog with these last words: Be joyful. Grow to maturity.
Encourage each other. Live in harmony and peace. Then the God of love and peace
will be with you.
Application
I
will never quit learning and growing. How about you?
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, help me look for someone to encourage today. Help me to push them to be
all that God wants them to be. Help them to grow in maturity. Don’t let today’s
circumstances rob me of joy. Help me to
only glance at them and help me to gaze at You. You are all that I need. I pray
for our missionaries as they prepare to speak to us tonight. Give them the
words that they need to challenge our church. Use them to help us to grow.
