2 Peter 1:8-9

Growing in the Knowledge of Gods

8 The more you grow like this, the more you will become productive and useful in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 But those who fail to develop these virtues are blind or, at least, very shortsighted. They have already forgotten that God has cleansed them from their old life of sin. (NLT)

Your journey that you are on is about growth, spiritual growth. It is about continual change. Molding and shaping you into the person God created you to be. We are to be partakers in this journey for we are not along for the ride. God has things He wants you to do, places He wants you to go and people He wants you to share with. As you draw near to God, God will draw near to you. This is a journey that you and God are on together, you are not alone. He is with you every step of the way and He is going before you preparing the way.

But, if you fail to develop these virtues from verses 5 through 7 you become shortsighted in your walk with God. You will begin to forget that God has forgiven and cleansed you from your old life of sin. God loves you and will discipline you to get you going back on the right path in the right direction for the right reasons. Follow Him wherever He leads you.

God loves you.
