Exciting Growth (Proverbs 19:16)
Exciting
Growth
The hope of exciting growth always comes after strong hardship,
does it not?
Here in the part of Canada where I live, we have the
harshest of winter (-40’C) which is like the hardship to the ground and
us. Then comes Spring in all its beauty
and elegance. A short Spring but nice
and then now we are in the Summer which is a moment of growth for the fruits
and plants and vegetables. Notice that
before the period of growth and renewal we have the hardship of Winter. It is the same in life. Our lives are made up of seasons and years
and months. We have weeks and days and
hours. Everything is broken up in stages
and it is up to us to make these seasons valuable. Those breaks count. Make your life count but break it up in
stages. Plan accordingly and
carefully. This is the advice of a 66-year-old
senior who has experienced it. I am not
all wisdom, but I have some wisdom. You cannot live your life twice but make it
count the first time. Save money for the
future but don’t overdo it. Be moderate
in all things.
To come back to the subject of growth. Don’t find out too late that it is time to
grow. Grow your self, spiritually and
mentally, morally. Start early in life, don’t
procrastinate. In every area of your life, grow. Grow your money start early to grow in
everything. Grow a family, but don’t be obstinate
about it. If you want to stay single
stay single. Plants grow first underground and then they explode to the
surface. A soup simmers on the stove and
then explode with flavours. Be
patient! Things are not always what they
appear to be at first. You have a
business, be kind to your employees and customers. Go the extra mile for your boss as well. You want to see growth? You will see it if you develop the ground
first and be gentle. If you rip someone
up it will return to you the same as if you are kind to that person. Follow the rules. They are your treasure for life.
Keep the Commandments and keep your life; despising
them leads to death. (Proverbs 19:16)
