40 Days of Purpose: #3, Maturity
God created you to become like Christ, and He uses various influences
to change you into His image.
Some influences are obvious, like Bible memory and daily scripture
reading. Other influences are more mysterious.
Come back next week and discover God's plan for your growth.
