But Grow in Grace and Knowledge of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ

2 Peter 3:18 “But grow in grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  To Him be glory both now and forever! Amen”

            Thank You, Lord, for that command from the hand of Peter.  I desperately do want to grow in grace and knowledge of You! 
            I grow in grace and give grace to others, giving the same grace that You give to me daily.  Thank You, Lord, for that endless supply that is new to me each morning.  I am so undeserving and You are so holy and righteous.  It is only by Your blood that I am a joint heir with You.  I deserve nothing but Your wrath and judgment for my thoughts, intents, and actions each day…but You, Lord!  You give grace and mercy in abundance!  For that I praise You and bless Your holy name!
            I grow in knowledge of You, Lord, because You have given us Your Mind in the Scriptures, and You have given us Your Spirit to guide us into a pure understanding of what Your mind is so we can know You.  What a precious gift!  No other god invites their followers to know them and they do not want to know their followers.  But You, Lord…You are all knowing, all powerful, and yet all loving.  You are God!  The ONLY TRUE LIVING GOD!
You are creator and sustainer of all there is and yet You love me and want me to get to know YOU! Amazing!
