There are a great many things we hope to grow into, or hope to grow up to be, or hope to keep growing toward. We are like the plants that seek the dew and showers. Blessed are those who seek to remain in Christ as a branch connected to the Vine. We will certainly be filled and we will grow and will prosper. As we grow, a wonderful thing happens. We become less concerned about looking inward. We become less occupied with our own personal spiritual development and we begin to concern ourselves with the needs of others. Our hearts turn toward being ministers of God´s grace, stewards of His word, ready in season and out of season to give an account of the hope we have in Him. We look around at those who need and we pray that through us, a little rain might fall-the kind of rain that nurtures spiritual growth in others. Consider for a moment, the prosperity of life when your heart becomes like Christ´s, being outward focused, and ready to be poured out into the lives of others. That is the measure of true prosperity.

I agree that we need to grow in Christ. He came and died on the cross so our sins can be forgiven. We need to accept Him as Lord and Savior.
We need to grow in our relationship with Jesus. He loved us so much that He died on the cross and IS resurrected so that we can have eternal life with Him in heaven. Accept Him today and make Him your Lord and Savior. Read the post titled, 'The rapture' on my blog and say the prayer on the bottom of if you want eternal life in heaven forever.
Nice blog by the way...this is my fist visit...will come back and visit more.
Thank you for the blessing you give.
I love to receive prayers and blessing from Jesus, who is my Lord and Savior. God bless you.
