It’s Time to Grow Up

Grown men don’t wear nappies and babies don’t drive cars. In life it matters that we act our age — and spiritually it works the same way. If we don’t keep growing as Christians, we build expectations on other people’s experiences instead of our own current position.

A parent relates differently to a baby than to a teenager. So too your Heavenly Father relates differently to you as a little child, a young man, or a father in the faith, as 1 John 2 describes. Each phase brings a different degree of intimacy and a different level of responsibility in God’s Kingdom.

Learn to receive revelation of God as Father, to build strength and overcome the three enemies of your soul, and to live in deep intimacy with the Father while raising the next generation. It’s time we grow up into full spiritual maturity.
