God causes growth

Those who have been replanted in the Lord’s house will spring up in the courtyards of our God. They will bear fruit even when old and gray; they will remain lush and fresh. ~ Psalm 92:13-14 (CEB)

May the Lord make your love for one another and for all people grow more and more... ~1 Thessalonians 3:12 (GNT)

KEY IDEA:
Those who are planted in the Lord will continue to grow indefinitely.
PRAYER:
Lord Jesus, thank you for transplanting me into your garden, where I can be near you and receive your care. I'm sorry that I sometimes think things are nicer outside your garden. There is no good reason for that. I'm not even unhappy with where you have planted me. But my eyes wander and my desires grow. Keep me rooted and growing in you. I want to be lush and green -- bearing lots of love fruit for everyone. Amen.
