"But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever! Amen." II Peter 3:18
I picked a Bible verse to pray each of my nieces and my nephew when they were born and have prayed it for them regularly throughout their lives. I didn’t pick Grace’s verse for any particular reason; I just thought it was a good verse to pray for a child, and since it contained her name, it was all the more appropriate.
She is seven now, and I love seeing God answering my prayer in her life. As I have mentioned before, I am teaching her and Hannah in a Bible study class, and seeing Grace soak up the Scriptures and grow in her love for Christ is such a joy to me. She often has her hand raised to answer questions and asks good questions when she doesn’t know.
I look forward to seeing how God is going to continue to use this verse in Grace’s life as she grows into her teen years and adulthood. He is faithful, and I know He has great things in store for her!
