New Growth

Recently,  I planted some peppermint seeds.  A few days later,  baby shoots appeared.  Without the soil, sun and water, this will be next to impossible.

God nurtures and nourishes us with His word and presence.  Growth takes place when we go through challenges and emerge from them through God's divine intervention.  God grows our faith and lead us to trust Him increasingly.  We can never assume that we have reached the pinnacle.  We continue to grow in the Lord daily.  New challenges will come.  God see our authenticity.  He wants our total obedience.  He leads us to uncharted territory to show us His might and glory.  Like these little peppermint shoots, we depend on Him and desperately need His hand of love and covering.  We thrive and persevere to see the image of Christ formed in us.
