Growing on the Inside
"Grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ."2 Peter 3:18
Reflection
Growing is not only getting taller. God grows us on the inside too: more patient, kinder, more like Jesus. That growth happens slowly, every day.
Prayer
Lord, grow me on the inside, a little each day. Amen!
Talk about it as a family
- How have you grown taller this year?
- How can someone grow on the inside?
- In what way would you like to become more like Jesus?
5-minute activity
Starting the month of growing, measure the child's height on a door frame and mark the date. Next to it, write one way they want to grow on the inside. Check again at the end of the month. Read 2 Peter 3:18.
