If you are a Christian, you are not the person you were yesterday or several years ago. Why? Because you are growing in Christ. The more you learn about Christ, the more you will grow. Very similar to the parable of the mustard seed describing the mustard seed that starts out as the smallest seed but as it is nurtured, it will grow to be the largest tree. As Jesus said, this is like the kingdom of heaven.
With Christ we are stronger
The larger you grow in Christ, the deeper your roots will grow which can withstand any storm that the evil one can throw at you. Jesus speaks of this when He talks about where you grow in the Parable of the Sower. Plant your roots deep through Him and you will be the one that grows in Christ, producing many times what was sown.
What happens to a tree if it is denied its basic needs? It begins to wither and gets diseased and the roots begin to fail. Understand this, your basic needs are from God. You need to feed yourself with the love of God most high and the knowledge he brings so that we can keep strong and remain filled with strength, and with that strength, our soul will remain strong and our roots deep.
True Love
Let your heart leap for joy as you understand the knowledge that is beyond your true understanding. The Lord will never leave you or forsake you and will always uphold you with his right hand. He loves you so much that He gave His only Son for you. Exalt him. You can do all things through Christ who strengthens you. For the spirit that God gave you will not falter and he has given you strength and you will not grow weary.
