Growing Up

“When I was a child, I used to speak like a child, think like a child, reason like a child; when I became a man, I did away with childish things.” 1 Corinthians 13:11

Growing old is such an inevitable part of life. You’re born, you live, you die. It’s the cycle we all must face. But while growing old comes naturally growing up is a different matter completely. Contrary to popular opinion maturity does not naturally come with age. I know plenty of teenagers who act like adults and adults that act like they were teenagers again.
As I near my 23rd birthday and I think about all that the Lord has blessed me with these past years I wonder how much maturity I have acquired. As I know I am growing older I also need to be aware that I should be growing up as well. As the apostle Paul said, in the before mentioned verse, I shouldn’t be living like a child anymore, but making good choices and live according to responsibility and conviction. Let’s all GROW UP in the name of the Lord.
