Grow Mature In God

JESUS … IS A DISTURBER of our immaturities, one who challenges us to find and use our strengths. A master craftsman in the skills that can make us strong in love, generous in service, and abundant in joy, he wants to spur us into a maturity that can collaborate with the Love that gave us birth.

There will always be some immaturities inside of us. Either it’s the hatred, anger, the lack of capability in handling pain and let go of the past, self-pity, low self-esteem as well as low self worth, and many more.
Our God wants us to grow more mature in each day of our life. He wants us to grow more and rejoice more. Let’s start it now! (-fon-)

You, therefore, must be perfect [growing into complete maturity of godliness in mind and character, having reached the proper height of virtue and integrity], as your heavenly Father is perfect.
--- Matthew 5:48
