Lepaterique, Honduras
Meet Wilson, a young man that many on our team have watched grow up. Not only is he a university student studying to become a dentist, he is also in a leadership training program through Compassion International. God is doing a mighty work in and through Wilson.
However, his plan for the future is not the reason why I chose this picture. I selected this picture because he's the drummer for the worship band at Betesda; a good drummer.
Wilson, like the other members of the worship band, have been encouraged to make a joyful noise to the Lord by Pastor Omar. They've had to grow as musicians. They didn't simply pick up the sticks, strap on a guitar or place their fingers on the keyboard and play like a professional from the beginning.
There were times of frustration, setbacks and insight. That's how we learn to do something whether we have a gift or not.
That's the process of growth.
"Like newborn infants, long for the pure spiritual milk, that by it you may grow up into salvation." 1 Peter 2:2 English Standard Version
We don't know everything there is to know about God the day he brings us to faith in his Son, Jesus Christ. There is a process of growth in all of us, a growth that continues until the day we die. This process involves frustrations, setbacks and new insights. That's how growth works.
May we long for the pure spiritual milk of God's grace that we continually grow into our salvation.
