“Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ.”
Key Points:
- Growth is Centered in Christ – He is our ultimate goal (Colossians 1:18).
- Truth and Love Must Work Together – Love without truth misleads; truth without love wounds (1 Corinthians 13:6).
- Spiritual Growth is Multifaceted – We grow in knowledge, character, and service (2 Peter 1:5-7).
- Maturity is a Continuous Journey – We never stop growing in Christ (Philippians 3:12-14).
WALK
Not by power, not by force,
But by truth wrapped in love,
A voice that speaks not to break,
But to lead toward the light.
Growth is more than what is known,
It is more than what is seen,
A heart transformed, a life renewed,
Into the image of the King.
No longer bound to childish ways,
No longer tossed by every wave,
For love has set a firm foundation,
And truth has made me whole.
Every step, in every season,
Leads me closer to Your way,
A journey shaped by grace and wisdom,
A path that leads to You.
Grow me up, shape my soul,
Let my heart reflect Your way,
Not for pride, not for gain,
But to walk as You have walked.
