Just as a child grows, we are constantly evolving and changing. Growth is such a beautiful thing in the sight of the Lord. God wants you to become all that He created you to be in this life. Growth shows Him that you are capable and willing to carry the blessings of your assignment. You can be certain that God sees your growth and new found wisdom that you have gained through trying situations. He knows you have been striving and praying despite what is happening to you. Just as God is approving your growth—so should you. Note your own growth so you can backtrack and have poof of where you started and how far God brought you.

Nonetheless, in our sufferings we learn and grow. Life is a constant learning curve. Incorporating growth in what you are experiencing will assist you with future challenges. Embrace your growth in all things. Your progression does not go unnoticed. Continue to expand your knowledge about your purpose here on earth. You can become disciplined with sharper discernment. You will start seeing dreams better because you are growing in what God has called for you. With growth, you can start to pick up on small miracles throughout your day. There is power in embracing your growth.
