Growth. It's what you want for your church. It's what you want for your children, your marriage, and your friendships. Growth in numbers. Growth physically. Growth personally and spiritually. After all, who wants to stagnate? The very word, "stagnate," brings to mind a pond with a layer of smelly, green scum floating on top. Yuck!
But why don't you have a master plan of personal growth? Why do you float high on the wings of a great conference, then return home and eventually creep back to the same old "normal" pace?
Growth means changing what you are used to being and doing. You have to let go of the old and familiar to grab hold of the new and unfamiliar. This takes courage. And if you're truly ready, courage shows up. How do you know when you're ready?
Check where your pain level is. Because you are ready for this kind of lasting growth when the pain of staying the same becomes greater than the pain of change.
What is YOUR next personl growth move?
