Parents hope to see their kids grow physically, intellectually, emotionally – they hope to train them up and turn them loose to become independent adults.  Some growth takes place naturally.  As a person grows from childhood into adulthood, they will get taller and stronger.  Other areas of growth, however, take some intentional training & focus.

 

This same sort of thing is true spiritually.  Again, while some growth takes place naturally, our growth as Christians takes a bit more focus and attention.  This growth is to be upward and outward – vertically and horizontally.  As believers in Christ, 1) We Need to Grow in a Loving Relationship with God, and 2) We Need to Grow in Loving Relationships with Others.

 

Commit to keep growing as a Christian.
