Growing Up!

3/8/2015

"Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of Him who is the head, that is, Christ." -Ephesians 4:15 (NIV)
My four-year old daughter reminds me often that she is growing up.  At school, my students are also ready to be grown up, even though they are still in middle school.  Both my daughter and my students don't realize that growing up is more than getting bigger or getting older.  Growing up includes being more mature.

We are all children of God.  Sometimes we think we are growing up and ready to be more than His children.  We may think that we can do things on our own, but we need to remember that being grown up requires maturity and wisdom, not just getting bigger and older.  To grow in maturity as individuals and as the church, we must speak the truth in love.  As we rely on God for love and wisdom, we become His body, with Jesus Christ as our head.  We grow up and become ready to continue to building the body and God's Kingdom!

Speak the truth in love and grow up in God!

Prayer:
Dear God-

Thank You for giving me Your love and Your truth.  Help me to speak Your truth in love so that I and Your church can grow.  In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
