Healthy Growth | Ericaism
Healthy growth isn’t just about getting older or adding more to your plate—it’s about how you’re tending to your heart and spirit along the way. Like hair or fingernails that grow but need to be trimmed and cared for to stay healthy, our personal growth, too, requires more than time and effort. Without careful attention, bitterness, old wounds, and unhealed hurts can build up, turning our growth in on itself and shaping us in ways that move us away from love and kindness.

Sometimes, we let past trauma and hurts dictate new “rules” for our lives, hardening our hearts instead of softening them. We may begin to justify grumpiness, impatience, or distant relationships by pointing back to the pain we’ve endured. But healthy growth is a choice—one that’s rooted in faith, self-reflection, and the willingness to let God tend to the parts of us that need His healing touch.

Erica Campbell reminds us that the Word calls for something higher: to love, to forgive, to be patient, and not allow past bitterness to steer the course of our lives. It takes regular evaluation—a spiritual “comb-over”—honestly looking at where we need to heal, forgive, and grow. And sometimes, that means seeking help, even therapy, to untangle the knots of old wounds.

True growth means letting go of the need to make our stories the standard for others and resisting the temptation to judge or isolate based on our own paths. Instead, we honor God by growing healthy—choosing joy, forgiveness, and grace as the foundation for each step.
Don’t just grow. Grow healthy. Let God’s love, patience, and wisdom shape who you are becoming, inside and out.
