Colossians 1:10 says, “Live a life worthy of the Lord and please Him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God.” To bear fruit and grow in the knowledge of God, we must cultivate the soil of our hearts and minds, and sew seeds of love and commitment. Growth is a process; it is a journey rather than a destination. Along that journey, we may experience highs, lows and growing pains. Philippians 3:13-14 encourages us as we grow, “Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.” How can we stay connected to the Lord and inspired to keep working, growing and bearing fruit? How can we avoid complacency in our own spiritual growth and embrace the idea of continuous growth in the Lord? Be blessed as you read through this issue and may the Lord move you to recognize where He wishes to see you grow.
