"Closeness to God, growth in Christlikeness, and knowledge of the Bible generally come in small daily increments as well. And as with growth of the body, growth of the soul is not noticed every day, every week, or even for months. But over time the consistent private worship of God will become on the most powerful and transformational experiences of your life."
It's true that growth in Christ is gradual, something that happens over a lifetime. Sometimes you may grow a lot in a little amount of time and other times you may grow a little within a lot of time. In my life I always went to grow all at once. But I know that true growth in Christ takes time.
In your own personal relationships with Christ, what have you experienced in regards to growth rate, being patient in learning, persevering in the race, waiting for the Lord? What are things that have helped you be in it for the long haul and have helped you accomplish steady growth in Christ? What can I do so that I don't try to grow all at once?
