A couple of days ago, God spoke this to my heart, “Change is inevitable; growth is optional.” You see, everything changes!! It may not be a good change…but it changes. It’s the way of the world. Change happens every day, every hour, every minute. You have to choose to grow! You choose spiritual, mental, and emotional growth. There comes a time when your mother no longer feeds you and you become accountable for your own nourishment.
Years ago, I asked a Lamaze coach what happens to a baby who stays in the womb too long. Know what she said? It decomposes. That’s also the way of the world. When something quits growing, it begins to decompose. That’s change! Even weeds that aren’t fed begin to wither.
We have a choice. Will we grow in Christ? Or will we neglect the most important growth process there is? You feed yourself spiritually by reading your Bible and opening your spirit to the Spirit of God and talking with Him. True growth doesn’t happen just by listening to preachers—although that’s helpful. It’s opening your Bible and asking the Spirit to teach you. He will!
You’re either growing or decomposing. There’s no middle ground. Jesus is the Bread of Life! Feast on Him and you’ll grow!
