As humans we tend to run a race with ourselves to see how fast we grow in any and everything we are touch. That any and everything can be a relationship, work, education, and even in our spiritual walk. But in reading the following scripture, it tells us exactly what we’ve been missing all along: God’s view on our lives happen to be a view of eternity. He’s not worry about how fast you grow- He’s concerned on how STRONG we grow in what we do.

Philippians 1:6

“I am sure that God who began the good work within you will keep right on helping you grow in His grace until His task within you is finally finished on that day when Jesus Christ returns”

Today I encourage you to take a step back from whatever it is that has you racing with yourself when it comes to growth and meditate on these words:

TODAY I WILL NOT WORRY ABOUT HOW FAST I CAN GROW. TODAY WILL BE THE DAY I FOCUS ON HOW STRONG MY GROWTH IS.

We won’t become strong over night but I know with proper preparation and conditioning of our hearts, mind, soul and the most important one; our spirits, we WILL get there.
There will be struggles and battles, but the outcome will never be in doubt. God has promised that “He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion” Philippians 1:6

Until next time… :P
