<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"“Growing in God’s grace” is a beautiful concept! I view it as a journey… which leads to humility, and reliance on God’s love and forgiveness. It\u2019s about deepening our relationship with God, allowing His grace… unmerited favor… to shape our character, actions, and understanding over time.<\/p>\n
As I ponder this… passages like 2 Peter 3:18 come to mind: “But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.” With that in mind, I kinda see it as an active process\u2014studying scripture, praying, and living out faith in a way that aligns more closely with God\u2019s will. It\u2019s not about earning salvation (which is a gift through grace, as in Ephesians 2:8-9), but about maturing in it, becoming more compassionate, patient, and Christ-like. This is my heart’s desire…<\/p>\n
May we…
\nLet go of pride or self-reliance and trusting God more.<\/p>\n
Learn from life\u2019s trials, seeing them as opportunities to lean on God’s strength.<\/p>\n
And this is also a deep desire of mine, extend grace to others, mirroring what\u2019s been received.<\/p>\n
