Are you a gardener or plant person? Green thumbs run in my family. Recently, I finally discovered mine. I started my first herb and vegetable garden and I am so excited to watch it grow! It got me thinking though, faith is similar to growing a garden. You plant the seeds and then tend to them by watering, giving it the perfect amount of sunlight daily and- you guessed it, let it grow.
Much like my herb garden, when you make the decision to put Christ first in your life; you have to put forth the work to see the fruit of the spirit. It doesn’t happen overnight.
“ 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.” Colossians 2: 6-7 NIV
The Bible teaches you the way you should live as a Christian. Staying rooted in the word of God, allowing the Holy Spirit to lead you daily is key to growing as a Christian. You never get to a point where you stop growing. That’s the beauty of Jesus. Stay rooted and built up in him and He will help you grow into who He has called you to be.
