Growing......in Love

PHP 1:9-10 NIV

And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless for the day of Christ,

There's Nothing God gives us or demands from us that does not grow. Everything that is God's nature, attribute and characteristic is expected to grow in us as we grow in our knowledge of Him that has called us. Just as no parents pray for a child that remains the same weight,  size and height for a long period of time, so also God expects that as we have been born anew in him, we will grow in our knowledge of him.

God is always at work in us, seeking that which is best for us, and making sure that the enabling environments for growth and deeper insight into God are provided. We then have a choice: take hold of the oppourtunities provided and deepen your relationship with, knowledge and insight of God, or just be content with a mediocre, shallow knowledge of God.

You can only be relevant in God's hand in this end times as you grow in your knowledge of God. God's mysteries are deep and will require that we put in our best to know more about God. Oppourtunities will come, his Word will always be preached, there will be occasions where iron can sharpen iron; we must take advantage of all these things. Remember: you can't give what you don't have. It is from the abundance stored up in the seasons of plenty that you can draw out in the seasons of lack and want. His time of favour is here.
