What is Christian Growth?
Tullian Tchividjian
Do we grow by looking inwardly at ourselves and our own progress towards God? Or does that actually stunt Christian growth? Does growth instead come from focusing on Jesus and what He’s already accomplished for us?
So good!

The beginning of love is the will to let those we love be perfectly themselves, the resolution not to twist them to fit our own image. If in loving them we do not love what they are, but only their potential likeness to ourselves, then we do not love them: we only love the reflection of ourselves we find in them.

I don’t think there is anyone who needs God’s help and grace as much as I do. Sometimes I feel so helpless and weak. I think that is why God uses me. Because I cannot depend on my own strength, I rely on him twenty-four hours a day. If the day had even more hours, then I would need his help and grace during those hours as well. All of us must cling to God through prayer.

The Church can never reflect the beauty of her Bridegroom, as she is called to do, without her glorious Head being the center of her attention in all that she does. Let’s rejoice in the prophetic voice of God’s Spirit among us that brings our gaze back upon His magnificence and glorious purpose again and again.
