Battles are won in the trenches, in the grit and grime of courageous determination; they are won day by day in the arena of life.
spiritual determination growing-up
There is an enormous difference between growing old in the Lord and growing up in Him. One is automatic and requires no effort at all ... just aging. But the other is never automatic, or easy. It calls for personal discipline, continual determination, and spiritual desire. Churches are full of sleepy saints who are merely 'logging time' in God's family.
