Growth is all part of this - our fantastic journey. We have physical growth in our youth, as teenagers, and as adults. We have psychological growth moving forward for the rest of our life. We have and learn the art of emotional growth, as we mature in our relationship's with others. All types of growth, are truly and absolutely necessary, as we go through life. The most critical of all growths, for you and I is spiritual growth. We all have the Holy Spirit living inside of us. We may never see the Holy Spirit while living on this earth, however, it was in fact given to us by God for our greater good. I believe the Holy Spirit plays a very important role in the life of a Christian, the Holy Spirit does a very specific task in fore warning us before dangers situation begins, allowing a feeling of doubt mixed with concern being brought to our attention immediately helps us to exercise great caution moving forward on or before a situation happens. Some may call it common sense, but I believe in my heart it is Christ speaking directly to our mind, through the Holy Spirit. Do you ignore the voice of Christ when He speaks to you? Or do you trust and act upon your very own internal instincts, or do you place all of your trust in Christ? I have made a lot of poor judgements in my youth, but as I matured in Christ, I started to rely more on Him and less on myself. It has benefitted me greatly, and I call it the power of a great choice! God makes the absolute best choices and I need to follow his lead, end of story. He will l never lead us astray. He knows what is best for us. We don't. And when we trust in him fully, we are guaranteed the absolute best outcome imaginable. Christ is on our side. His love for us is off the charts!!! We have to begin all things with Him in order to see the fruit of his love. He is head over heels in love with us, his creation and we must be obedient in following his lead. He will lead us properly all the way back to our beginning, in our mothers womb, and fast forwarding to eternal life. We were once helpless as a child, but as adults we rely fully on Christ to show us the real life we were meant to be living. Growing in Christ will astonish you! Miracles will happen before your eyes! More joy will enter into your heart. You will sing again, you will skip again, you will rejoice again! Renewed in the holy spirit you will follow in faith the most faithful leader, and nothing will ever separate you from Him again. He wants us all to himself, as little children within the company of their heavenly Father he wants to guide us again, but this time properly in the love and wisdom that may have been missing. So yes, God has a lot to offer us, his children. Faith, hope, love, and endless examples of wisdom and charity toward neighbor, and full conversion of every soul needs to take place for the sake of humanity. For in our humanity we love as Christ loves us. This will cover up a multitude of sins. This is how we must be living, in a society that loves again. Cares again. Hopes again, for a future that is bright. As bright as the light living in Christ. Let us then choose to live as light and burn away the darkness of these times of upheaval, let us put on Christ, and set this world on fire, as Saint Catherine of Sienna reminds us. We have to put on Christ as a breast plate every single day, we must put on the helmet of Christ and think like Christ. We must defend life and everyone living in it because it is the absolute God given privilege given to us by God himself. Go forth into the light that is HE!
