Today is my oldest daughters birthday. Her name is Cherise! I remember the day she was born. She was a beautiful baby then and she’s a beautiful young lady now!

Now let’s suppose that Cherise never grew up. Let’s say she’s the same size today as she was the day she was born. Let’s imagine that she’s still sucking on a bottle and her mom still has to change her diapers! Wouldn’t that be a sad situation?

In many ways people are like that who come to know the Lord. They start out babies in Christ and never grow up to maturity.

As Christians we should be growing spiritually. What can produce spiritual growth in our lives? The Word of God!
