Growing In Christ

March has always been one of my favorite months. It is that time of year when things really begin to grow -- the buds, the flowers, the leaves, etc. It is also the time of year when you have to start mowing the lawn again. One soon discovers that although God is responsible for the beauties of nature, He also allows us the privilege of working together with Him to help things grow! It is the same with our spiritual growth in Christ. When the human element cooperates with the divine then God is able to grow us the way He would like us to be! The apostle Paul in Colossians 2:6, 7 says, "so then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were
taught, and overflowing with thankfulness." May every day find you growing in Him!
