Jun 12 Make Me Grow

052

There are some situations in my life right now that just plain stink.  They aren’t situations I created or that I have control over. But they impact me.  Their effects seep in to my daily life and the best way I can describe that, is that it stinks.  I was talking to God about this yesterday… and I swear I got a glimpse of His humor when I heard Him speak to my heart “yup, that’s fertilizer- it stinks but you can also use it to grow.”  So somewhat cautiously, I started my day today with a prayer… “God, make me grow- in this, in everything, make me grow.”

You are at a good place when you hear God speak to you that way. It’s a sure sign of a very close and healthy relationship with Him. Therefore you are very blessed and keep that thought before you more than those issues of life that confront you. Chew on this scripture, 2 Cor 2:14, everyday, and I guarantee you that you won’t even smell that fertilizer though it still be there doing it’s intended work.

Oh yes, growing is not always a pleasant time. Remember when you were a little girl and your legs would ache? You were growing taller and taller. It can be painful on a physical level as well as a spiritual level. Growth is necessary if we are to become the person God wants us to be physically and spiritually. As long as our eyes are fixed on our heavenly Father he will continue to water us with his grace and mercy, and he will help us to be exactly what he wants us to be…..I luv U, mom

Wow. Just finished adding that to my “quotes that speak to me” journal. Not the first one from you, either. ;)
