How Are You Growing?

How Are You Growing?

Gathering Knowledge Is Great But Developing Character Is Essential

Don't just grow in knowledge, grow in character. God is more interested in your character than He is in your career. Why? Because success without character can hurt you and those around you.

The Bible says: '...make every effort to respond to God's promises. Supplement your faith with a generous provision of moral excellence, moral excellence with knowledge, knowledge with self-control, self-control with endurance, endurance with godliness, godliness with brotherly
affection, and brotherly affection with love for everyone.'

The more you grow like this, the more productive and useful you will be. It's impossible to feel confident when you're telling yourself that you'll never amount to anything.

After Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit, they hid. God came to them and said, "Where are you?" They said, "We're hiding because we're naked." I love how God answered..."Who told you...you were naked?" In other words, "Who told you there was something wrong with you?"

God immediately knew the enemy had been talking to them. And God's saying to you today, "Who told you ... that you're not attractive enough to succeed in your relationships...or talented enough to flourish in your career...or that your marriage isn't going to last?" Those are lies from the enemy.

God said, "...No good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly. Delight yourself...in the Lord, and He shall give you the desires of your heart."

The potential is inside you...and it doesn't change because you don't believe it.

The gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable. He's never going to take back the potential He poured into you...or say, "You've failed too often and made too many mistakes. Give me my gifts back." No...His calling on your life will be with you till the day you leave this earth, but it's up to you to...tap into it.

When the enemy starts chipping away at your confidence, take authority over him in Jesus' name; resist him and he will flee. Never stop developing your talents. Paul told Timothy, '...Stir up the gift...which is within you.'

Some people have the notion that following your spiritual gift is spending the days and years of your life doing only those things that come naturally, easily, with no effort, discipline or practice. No, your gift can either be mediocre or excellent; it's up to you.

If we don't change, we won't grow; and then we're not really living. Growth demands the temporary surrender of security. It means giving up familiar but limiting patterns, safe but unrewarding work, values no longer believed in, relationships that have lost meaning.



Taking a new step is what we fear most, but can you think of anything worse than a life devoid of growth?

Prayers For Strength

Give Me Strength, Lord

Lord, you are Holy above all others, and all of the strength that I need is in your hands.

I am not asking, Lord, that you take this trial away. Instead, I simply ask that Your will be done in my life. Whatever that means, that is what I want.

But I admit that it's hard, Lord.

Sometimes I feel like I can’t go on. The pain and the fear are too much for me, and I know that I don’t have the strength on my own to get through this.

I know that I can come to you, Jesus, and that you will hear my prayer. I know that it is not your intent to bring me to this point just to leave me in the wilderness alone.

Please, Lord, give me the strength that I need to face today. don't have to worry about tomorrow.

If you just give me the strength that I need today that is all I need.

Keep me from sinning during this trial. Instead, help me to keep my eyes on you. You are the Holy Lord, and all of my hope rests in you.

Thank you for hearing my prayer.

In Jesus' name. Amen.

Tuck me in Your Love

Lay your veil of love on our forehead and let us see the love shining in each person's heart. With this veil, we need not speak of love but show it to whoever needs love the most. May your veil of love upon us be a reminder of your love and to share it as you have shown to us without any condition and questions. May we be the bearer of your love to others and to our self. For if love is not present, the world will be filled with hate: thus a victory for the evil. 

O Mary, my mother, please tuck me in Your love.

O Mary, conceived without sin - pray for us who have recourse to thee...

Afflictions and temptations

Afflictions and temptations can be of great use to us at times for it makes us go back to God's love when we realized our weakness and faults. Those are the moments when we begin to examine ourselves and humbly admit that we own our decisions in doing so because we knew beforehand - it is wrong but I am in denial. The moment we question why we hurt Jesus, is a moment of understanding what we did was wrong, therefore, ask God's forgiveness and forgive oneself to move on with God's grace, correct the wrong though difficult it may be and never pass that path once more.
