GROWING IN FAITH PT1.

I am currently writing this post from my phone in the U.S.A. I am on vacation, having just spent my first Thanksgiving with my family.  This post is gonna be extremely short, but I will talk about it more when I get back to the U.K. I just wanted to leave a thought for the month of November. 

Seeing my family is always a great time, but it also comes with great challenges.   This trip reminds me of the importance of growing in faith.  I am seeing the results of what happens when you become stagnant in your faith, and it is  a very sobering reminder that if we don’t grow, it’s possible to start to look like we belong to the world. Our fruits stop looking like the fruits of the spirit. Sadly, it has me questioning whether people are saved because I don’t recognise the spirit in operation.  I am not here to judge or make those assumptions because God knows the heart of man. But, it makes me sad to see all the same.

So… my reminder is this.  Don’t forget that you have been cleansed from your old sins. Don’t be shortsighted or blind! God has given us everything we need to live a godly life, and if you don’t truly get to know Jesus Christ, you won’t receive the promise, instead you will struggle and possibly even fall away.  We must GROW in our faith.

That’s my thought for the month of November. Short and sweet. This is just part one, I will talk about it in my next post.  Until then, stay blessed!
