Key Scripture: 2 Peter 3:18 (KJV)

But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

Devotional

Growth is God’s gift, not your burden. Some of the growth you experienced this year didn’t look like progress—it looked like patience, humility, and learning to respond differently.

The gift of growth is that God does not leave us where He found us. He matures us through His Word, through real-life relationships, and through seasons that stretch us.

You may still have work to do, but don’t overlook what God has already done. Growth often happens quietly—like roots going deeper before fruit shows up.

Today, celebrate growth with gratitude, and ask God for continued grace to become who He is forming you to be.

Scripture Insight

Reflection: If God is still growing you, what does that say about His commitment to your future?
