Growth: The Most Exciting Part of Christianity

God wants all of us to grow. Throughout the Bible, we’re encouraged to deepen our knowledge of God and our relationship with Him, to strengthen the gifts He’s given us, and to become mature in Christ. But we can only grow when we approach growth intentionally. If we assume our spiritual knowledge and experience is enough, then we miss out on all God has for us. We’re called to so much more!

Keep in mind, spiritual growth requires a willingness to change. In order to change, you’ll have to surrender the security and comfort of what you already know and do. You’ll have to be open-minded to new ideas and willing to change daily habits. But as you learn to embrace change in your pursuit of growth, you’ll find that this process naturally produces joy. Every time I start pursuing growth in a certain area of my life, I experience a ripple effect in all areas. I feel happier and am able to enjoy the journey that unfolds with each new day.

If you’ve been struggling to find joy in your life, focus on growth! Identify areas where you want to learn more or improve yourself, seek out resources and make a plan, start doing some things differently, and watch God bring great change to your life.
