Recently I shared my testimony over at Beautiful Mommy Feet, if you haven't had a chance, check it out. I was raised in the church. I knew all the right things to do and say. I knew how to be a "good girl." But I felt like I was missing something. Something big. God revealed to me that I was living the life of a Sunday morning Christian. I made the commitment to dig deeper. Go farther. To grow.
I decided to try out this thing called daily devotions, a quiet time. What started with fifteen minutes began to grow into a half hour, then an hour. I couldn't get enough of God. I tasted Him and He was so good!
I never imagined how incredible it would feel to grow in God. Have I "arrived"? Heavens no. We will never "arrive" this side of Heaven. But I continue to grow. I continue to read, pray, converse with God and worship.
Are you staying stagnant, or are you ready to grow in God?
Sweet Blessings~

I only recently started doing daily devotionals and I've noticed a HUGE change in my relationship with God...I just love it :)
ReplyDeleteIsn't the Word of the Lord good? I have the same kinda testimony you do and I still fall short of where I want to be in Him...but His grace is amazing!
ReplyDeleteI want to continue to grow closer to Him everyday. I have tasted too, and I can say that the Lord is Good!
ReplyDeleteI've stayed so busy lately that I missed your testimony over at Beautiful Mommy Feet! So good! I relate so much! Just WANT to keep growing!
ReplyDeleteOh Jenifer,
ReplyDeleteMy time with God is my life line, my daily tune up and He truly grows sweeter as the days go by. I cry just thinking about Him, I love Him so. I feel and hear that in you, one reason I actually read your posts, a kindred spirit.
Love and hugs, Cindy
I forgot to say Congratulations to the winner of the Christmas dvd and cd. I was waiting for the outcome before I went out and bought the Christmas Lodge.
ReplyDeleteWarm hugs, Cindy

I think this is a great message for a lot of Sunday morning Christians to hear. So many just get comfortable thinking that as long as they believe that's all they have to do. Growth is so important!
ReplyDeleteSo good to hear another person hungry for more than Sunday morning Christianity, then more than a 15 minute devotion. Then more and more. God bless it with growing and growing rich delight!
