As we journey through life, we often face challenges that test our faith and resilience. It is in these moments that we must remember that we are not alone. We have a loving God who is always with us, guiding us, and providing us with everything we need to overcome any obstacle.

When we accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, we enter into a beautiful and transformative relationship with Him. We become partakers of the divine nature and are granted access to His precious and great promises. With His help, we can grow in faith, virtue, knowledge, self-control, steadfastness, godliness, brotherly affection, and love.

As we continue to grow and evolve in His name, we can rest assured that we are being strengthened and empowered for every good work. We are being prepared for a life of purpose and meaning, where we can make a positive impact on the world around us.

So let us press on, dear ones, with confidence and courage. Let us embrace the abnormal proliferation that takes place in us as we follow Christ, and let us continue to strive toward the person He has called us to be. With His help, we can do all things and nothing shall be impossible for us.

“But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To Him be glory both now and forever. Amen.” 2 Peter 3:18

Be blessed in Jesus’ name.
