God's Recipe for Spiritual Growth

Remember when your mother told you to eat your vegetables so you could grow up strong and healthy?  As much as we hated to follow her advice, it's amazing how spot on are mother's are.  It reminds me of how the Holy Spirit is working in our lives.  Everything we need for spiritual growth is there for our daily consumption.  I would like to  thank one of my teammates for inspiring today's blog message through a text she sent this morning.  Here are some of the ingredients in God's recipe for spiritual growth:

• Relationships that break down
• Friendships that dissolve
• Careers that end
• Finances that crumble
• Witnessing a loved one pass
• Car accidents
• Sickness
• Challenging bosses

These ingredients are God's veggies.  He knows what you need to grow spiritually.  You're not in charge.  If you feel that you are, you're consuming processed foods that will eventually kill you.  It's not about the flavor, it's about what's good for you.  Trust what God serves you.  Have a great day.
