Continuous Growth Through Service

1 Thessalonians 3:12
and may the Lord cause you to increase and abound in love for one another, and for all people, just as we also do for you;

Life in Jesus Christ is about fullness and growth.  It is never about reduction and decline.  There is no such thing as spiritual retirement.  

God places us where we are just as sovereignly as He rules over every aspect of His kingdom.  He then calls us to serve Him.  He calls us to meet the needs of His kingdom around us.  Subsequent to our obedience, He adds to us and grows us according to His good and perfect will and purpose for our lives.  This process is continuous throughout our lifetimes.  

Prayer
Heavenly Father, we thank You for the good and perfect purposes that You have for our lives.  We rejoice in knowing that we will be able to continually serve You, not only on this earth, but also on into eternity.  We pray that You will show us the needs that are around us.  May we never tire of the service that is at hand.  May we grow in Christ daily as we serve You.

I am forever a student of the Word and a disciple of Jesus Christ, finding life applications in Scripture. I write about Christian themes, including bringing others to Christ, the matchless name of Jesus and various spiritual concepts like a penitent heart and overcoming darkness. I focus on Christian teachings, personal faith and reliance on the Holy Spirit. I invite you to read through my daily writings. Think them out for yourself through your study of God's Holy Word. Pray on the meaning of the message. Then let the message come alive in your life.
