Grow Through It

Everybody wants to be somebody, nobody wants to grow. - Goethe

Though we 'put on Christ' we have to grow in His stature. Hmm!

The mustard seed is indeed a small seed. Yet when planted it grows to produce a plant that provides shelter and rest for the birds of the air. Imagine that small seed planted in the earth, covered up in darkness, but yet it springs forth because within it is 'life.' Small things don't grow only when they don't have life. If Christ resides within our hearts then we have life, our faith may be 'little' but yet it is alive. At times we may feel that our life is being suffocated by the complete darkness around us, but the darkness only means you've been planted. If there is life within (spirit) you will eventually break through the ground (darkness) and burst forth into the freshness of what God is trying to do in your life. Just remember, the process of growth entails enduring through all circumstances.

Until tomorrow.....
