Speaking Of Growth In Christ

Our growth in Christ comes to us in many ways,
Through a variety of circumstances,
And during times when expected most…
Or hardly expected at all. 

And yet such growth always arrives at the thresholds of our lives because of grace

Perfectly timed,
Uniquely designed just for us,
And clothed within the ever perfect will of God for each of us as individuals. 

With such brief thoughts as those you just read plus what the combination of “grace and growth” means to you, take in inspirational quote below.

Speaking Of Growth In Christ… Reflecting

In faith, where do you feel that the Lord has been prompting you to follow Him at this stage of your adventure with Him? 

Should someone enter into your quiet time unexpectedly and ask: “What comes to mind when you reflect on what ‘adoring Jesus’ means to you?,” how would you answer? 

Where might the Lord be leading you now relative to the idea of trusting Him? 

Are any of the answers above worthy of entering into a journal, sharing in a lesson that you may be preparing, or simply returning them to Jesus in the form of a prayer?

“With this in mind, we constantly pray for you, that our God may count you worthy of his calling, and that by his power he may fulfill every good purpose of yours and every act prompted by your faith. We pray this so that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ. ” (2 Thessalonians 1:11-12)**

Following about a three year search for God, Lee trusted Christ as Savior in 1967 as young Marine. He has served as an outreach pastor and a church planter. The Lord also led him to serve as the Director of Internships at Baptist Bible Seminary in Clarks Summit, PA where he served for over 20 years. Lee loves to write, has a strong desire to be a positive influence for Christ in our world, and is passionate about family. And speaking of family, he and his wife Sherry (who served as a Director of Elementary Education for many years and recently retired) praise the Lord for being married 44 years, their 3 daughters and son-laws, and 7 grandchildren! Lee and Sherry would say: "We've been abundantly blessed."
