Have you ever planted a seed and watched it grow? Though it did not happen on its own. It needed the proper nutrients. The right soil, water, sunshine. It had to be properly tended to. Whether through nature or with a little help from us. As it received all that was needed to flourish, it grew! It is a pretty incredible thing to witness. Our faith is a lot like that. We start with a good foundation, and when we read His word and walk with Him, we are given the proper nourishment to grow in our faith. Now that, is a wonderful thing to experience! Friend, God is always available to us and eager to help us grow toward Him. May as we think of spring and planting gardens, we remember the greatest Gardner. Our Father in heaven, who so very much cares and lovingly tends to us. He is always looking out for us, and helping us grow. How beautiful it is to be growing in our faith.

Growing in our faith

John 15:1 NIV

“I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener.

Colossians 2:6-7 NIV

So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.

2 Peter 3:18 NIV

But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever! Amen.
