Growth Is Dying

By Victoria Knight

Growth is when you recognize and except your circumstance knowing that God gives the increase and it is not of ourselves, but a free gift from God. Growth is not changing our circumstances, but knowing how to survive joyfully in them. Acceptance is growth for me. I always want to be wise enough to look at thing with the eyes of jesus. I believe we are not to look at what God can do for us, but how can we please Him with the tools He already gave us.

Growth is dying to our own natural desires, nailing them to the cross and living the life that God gives.

When we do this our lives will be transformed and we will grow as a kernal falling to the ground. As it dies it creates new life.  When life gets tough we grow with Jesus.
