I listened to a sermon by Joel Osteen the other day about how we should always be growing and seeking to improve in some area of our lives.

This is so true. And it is so important to realize this and keep it in the forefront of our minds.

When we don't grow and don't seek to learn knew things or develop our abilities or expand our skills (and most importantly, grow in knowledge of the Lord), we become stagnant and our lives become boring and meaningless.

Have you ever seen someone who has no interest in improving their life? They usually have no vision and can't find much purpose for their life. They usually end up bored and miserable with life, just stagnating in the same spot their whole life.

But people who are always reading/studying and trying to improve theirself/their skills and grow closer to the Lord are usually vibrant, full of life, and interesting. They enjoy life, because they find things they are interested in and learn as much as they can.

And of course we should always be looking to grow closer to the Lord, and to grow spiritually and as an individual. We all have things we can improve on in our lives, and areas we can do better in, and if we seek the Lord, He will help us to grow and change, by His grace.
