Are you on a Growth Mission?

Are you partnering with God to become the man He created you to be?

Here are some signs that you’re moving in that direction.

1. Is your spirit hungry for growth?

You shift from survival thinking to becoming healthy.

2. Are you becoming more emotionally curious?

Instead of escaping your feelings, you ask, “What is this emotion trying to tell me?”

3. Are you looking for lessons from God?

You believe God is actively revealing truth, so you are always looking for “A-ha!” moments.

4. Are you expanding your love of God’s creation?

Creation reminds you that your heavenly Father is near.

5. Is gratitude becoming your new norm?

God is good, and gratitude increasingly lives in your soul.

6. Do you see yourself as a lifelong learner?

Growth becomes a lifestyle rather than an event.

7. Are you are starting to enjoy this messy, imperfect life?

You only get today to live, so you live it well.

8. Are you taking better care of your body?

You understand that caring for your body helps you care for your mind and emotions.

9. Are you learning to lead your brain?

You are a spirit in charge of a brain. Are you learning to lead your mind instead of being tormented by it?

Closing Thought

As your mind is renewed and your heart is healed, you begin to experience the fruit God has always desired for you:

Peace instead of anxiety.
Rest instead of constant striving.
Joy instead of merely chasing happiness.

Prayer

Father, please continue to grow me into the likeness of Jesus. Amen.
