As I was teaching my kids about plant adaptations, we learned how plants will grow in the direction of the sun to allow more sunlight to reach the surface area of their leaves, giving the plants more nutrients for them to grow, flourish, and bloom. We saw this first hand as a plant my son received from Sunday school grew bent towards the window in our kitchen, stretching itself towards the sun.
We, too, should do the same. We are going to grow, but we also have the power to decide in which direction that will be. My advice is to be like plants and grow towards the sun. Grow in God and His truth. Reject the lies and doubt that suffocate your potential for healthy growth and allow God’s Word to be the seed that promotes growth towards Him and His will for your life. Today, I encourage you to grow toward the loving arms of our Heavenly Father.
Prayer: Dear Heavenly Father, Thank you for helping me to continue to grow toward You and Your loving presence. Help me to bloom and mature in You as I spend more time with You. May Your Word strengthen and stretch me, as I develop spiritually. In Jesus’ name, amen.
