Growth
Maturity is a word which carries strong feelings, thoughts, and ideas. When we're young, we can't wait to reach maturity. But as we get older and do mature, we wonder if we'll ever reach full maturity. It's a process.
The same can be said about following Jesus. It's a process, and the longer we follow Christ, the more mature we become. But along the way there are things that can help us reach that level of Christian maturity.
The first of these things are a series of practices, known as disciplines, which draw us into a stronger and closer relationship with Christ. These are actions which help us learn to trust, listen, follow, and ultimately obey the Lord. These are essential steps we must take and incorporate into our daily lives. As we take these steps, we'll be amazed at how much we'll grow, and how much closer our relationship with Christ will become.
