NOW THAT'S GROWTH!

When I was growing up, Daddy use to measure how much I was growing,by charting my growth on the doorpost wall of the kitchen door. Everytime I began a growth spurt,he would draw a line,with my name and the date beside it.I continued this tradition with my children, as I'm sure many of you folks did!
God charts our growth too, but He does it in another way.....
He will send trials of various kinds, and will with those trials, offer a way of enduring them. If we have grown, and stayed in the word, then our growth will guide us through these trials.The growth period is often a rough time, and we can chart our names with dates. If we look at those lines carefully, we will see God's hand right there with us, every single time, measuring our growth! We can't just stand up there and get measured.....Nope!
We have to walk through it,for God to measure us....Ouch!
I'm not sure the marks on the door frame are still there at my old home, but I know for a fact,that God has wiped away all my sin's, and drawn my measuring line in His Lamb's Book of Life!
Now that's Growth!
