II Corinthians 3: 17, 18
Now the LORD is that spirit; and where the Spirit of the LORD is, there is liberty. But we all, with unveiled face beholding as in a mirror, the glory of the LORD, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the LORD.
GROWING UP IN THE IMAGE OF JESUS
It is very interesting to me that to grow up in Christ means to become more and more humble, meek and lowly. It really is growing into Christ, rather than growing up. Our world would have us believe that you have to work hard to win the favor of GOD. This is not so, we are to worship the LORD with our whole heart and trust Him. JESUS loves us and desires to have fellowship with us, so He is not far away, He is ever present.
The LORD does not bind us to tasks that are rigorous, all He wants is to love us. The more time that we spend in worship, prayer and meditation, the more we will be changed into the likeness of JESUS. The glory which is His, He gives to us by the work of the Holy Spirit of GOD. EVERYTHING that is necessary for us to grow into Him, He provides FREELY.
SIMPLY TRUST HIM WITH EVERYTHING - HE ALONE IS TRUSTWORTHY
