Grace Growers

Do you have difficult people around you? People that have the unique gift of being able to push all the right buttons to annoy and irritate you? Well, count yourself extremely blessed.

II Peter 3:18 says to “grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.” You don’t grow in the grace of knowledge of Jesus by studying books. It happens through relationship. If you pray for patience, God doesn’t just drop it into your character, He gives you an opportunity to develop patience by leading you into a circumstance that requires patience. When you want to grow in grace, He gives you the wonderful gift of grace-growers.

Grace-growers are people who are sent your way that allow you every opportunity to display the character of Jesus in grace. Not only will they expose every part of your character that needs to be worked on they will give you the perfect set of circumstances to grow and develop. If left to ourselves, our growth in grace would be a long, slow and arduous process. That is why God sends us the incredible blessing of grace-growers that accelerate your character development and propel you toward your destiny.
