Stretching Our Souls
Throughout our journey, it is the mental, emotional and
spiritual growth we make that defines our lives, that improves
our lives.
Growth affects almost every aspect of our lives. Our
thinking, our beliefs, our minds, our philosophy, our morals,
values and ethics, our politics.
How we grow affects our relationships with our family and
children, our friends, our co-workers and our jobs. It
affects our very outlook and enjoyment of life, our heart and
our happiness.
And it is ultimately our growth that affects our relationship with
God. As Paul wrote, Rather speaking the truth in love, we
are to grow in every way into Him who is the head, into
Christ.

us an invincible spring.
I hung it in my bedroom and memorized it. By the grace of
God, I learned that Camus is right. ...
