Notice the small line at the bottom of the page?

Notice the small line at the bottom of the page in your growth journal?
"How will I be different today because of what I have just learned?"
It is so important for that question to be asked at the end of every journalling session.
Truth by itself will not change life. It is truth applied that does. While we are encouraged to study and know more of the Word of God, it is imperative that we apply the truth in daily living. Nowhere in the Bible does it say that we are to heap more and more knowledge into our head. We may end up as a person with a big head but a small heart. Knowledge must renew the mind so that we are transformed by it (Romans 12:2).

2 Tim 3:16-17 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.

The Word of God is active and will seek to influence and transform us.
Hebrews 4:12
For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-
edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.

"How will I be different today because of what I have just learned?"
