Growth is essential

Growth is not an option. It is essential. Without growth, we don't stay status quo, we deteriorate. Growth are essential for leaders and like Duanne Seeley said, 'when you stop growing, you stop leading'. Personal development takes perseverance and determination. It is not automatic. It must be planned, intentional, constistent and eagerly desired. More than what we plan to do, we must take action.

Goals and visions must be set in place. Develop a passion to see things grow. To not be content but always seek and grap any possible opportunities. Use our God's given talent. I was reminded by the parable of the king's ten servants in Luke 19: 11-27. How the king was so harsh on the man who had not increased the money. God too eagerly desires for us to grow spiritually and be mature in our understanding.

Amen. Great words of truth sheena.
A very important reminder as well of something we often forget and take for granted. May we continue to grow in HIM and produce much "grapes" as we remain in HIM!! =)
