And thus they labored, with all diligence, according to the commandments of the Lord of the vineyard, even until the bad had been cast away out of the vineyard, and the Lord had preserved unto himself that the trees had become again the natural fruit; and they became like unto aone body; and the fruits were equal; and the Lord of the vineyard had preserved unto himself the natural fruit, which was most precious unto him from the beginning.
Jacob 5:74
What a blessing it is to have the scriptures and to have them teach us what is true. Recently I have had the opportunity to learn about "Real Growth" in ourselves and in the church. This is what the Lord wants for us his children-he wants us to progess and to become who he knows we can become. Also that one day we can become one as a church-that we can be Zion, a people with one heart and one mind. But this is not easy sometimes it is the hardest of times that we grow the most. Also it is important to recognize that we can never stop, we must always be trying and moving forward no matter what obsatcle come in our way.
For myself this is what I have been experiencing. I having been feeling the Lord working within my heart to change my motives and to change me a bit at a time into the person I should be. I have also been trying to realize what I need to change and be willing to do something about it. At this time I am probably experiencing some of the hardest times but when I remember who I am and who I represent at all times with or without the nametag-I remeber and I have a hope that it is all worth it. It is becasue I have glimpsed and felt what the Lords wants for me and I will never be able to forget it. Pray and ask the Lord for help to see a vision of where he wants you to be and then ask him to help you get there. I promise that as you and the Lord work together you will become the person you should be.
