This weekend I got to see the many changes in my nieces and nephews that simply come from growing up. Today I got to spend the day celebrating my niece's 3rd birthday. What a joy it is to see her grow and learn and develop into the person that God has created her to be. One of my nephews had his first T-ball practice. Another nephew drove us to the movies with his new driving permit. Another niece showed me how she is learning to read. All of these changes and growth tell me one thing...they are alive. Change and growth is a part of life. The moment we begin to fear and reject change is the moment that we stop living and start dying.
Embrace the new things that God wants to teach you and grow with them. Look back at your spiritual year and see whether or not you are still embracing the changes and the "living" that God wants you to experience, or whether you have become stagnant and stopped "living." If you have started 'dying,' look around you and embrace something new. Learn something new. Do something you have never done before and start enjoying the wonders of "living" once again. Its far better than the alternative.
