Growing in the Grace of God
Dear Friends:
And here he is, my good little friend, Karl, and his grandma, Tammy. You’ve seen him before sitting on the floor. Only now, he’s walking, he’s moving around. He’s getting at it. And ain’t it great???
Obviously, Karl is no longer the baby of a year ago. He’s become a little tike, a toddler, a child. He’s maturing. God is good…all the time.
How about you? Physically, as adults we probably don’t need to be growing; if anything, maybe downsizing. However, spiritually, how have you done over this past year? Are you closer to God than you were a year ago? If so, wonderful! If not, make no mistake about who has moved.
Each day is an opportunity to draw nearer to God. Each day that we have is a gift from God to make the world a better place; it’s a gift to help others, it’s a gift to honor God. Ultimately each day allows us to energize our faith, supersize our commitment to God, and grow in the grace of God. Each day is a day of possibilities given to us by a graceful God to ever become the person that God thought of when he created us.
So how does God fit into your life? Are you closer to God than you were a year ago? If not, why not do something about it? If I can help, please let me know. We can grow in God’s grace together. Stop by. The coffee’s fresh. The light is on.
Your friend, Pastor Don
