Day 28; It Takes Times

Tweet

There is a time for everything,and a season for every activity under heaven: Ecclesiates 3:1 Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. Phil 1:6 - there are no short cuts to maturity. - God views our lives from and for eternity, so He is never in a hurry. - While worry about how fast we grow, God unconcerned about how strong we can grow. Why does it take long? 1. We are slow learners 2. We have a lot to unlearn 3. We are afraid to humbly face the truth about themselves. 4. Growth is often painful and scarry. 5. Habits take time to develop. Dont get in a hurry: 1. believe God is working in our life even if you dont feel it. 2. Keep a journal or notebook on lessons learned. -insights -life lessons -about Him -about yourself -about life -relationships 3. be patient with God and with yourself 4. Dont get discouraged Source: The Purpose Driven Life Chapter 28: It takes Time MY reflection: As a christian for 6 years, I can hardly see the growth that I have in the Lord. I seem to think if I really have learned something from the Lord. I have seen my church mates and how they have really matured in the Lord and I envy them and I even came to the point of asing myself, when can I see spiritual children grwoign in the Lord and serving Him and also helping others gorw. It has been a great desire to start this but I want to start it with a pure commitment in my heart. Coz I dont want to start with a half hearted commitment coz it wont bring my anywhere.
