For every
person, whether Christian or not, it is time to grow up spiritually. It is
always a time to mature, for all of us have room to grow. All of us have
untapped spiritual potential. For all of us, it is time to get off the baby
bottle. In growing spiritually, there is good news and there is bad news. The
bad news is you may live your life on this earth and always be poor, sick,
downtrodden, meek, humble, and a failure in the eyes of the world. The good
news is that in the eyes of Christ, you can be poor, sick, downtrodden, meek,
humble, and a failure in the eyes of the world and still be His most important
lamb on earth. The good news is that no matter what the exterior appearances of
your life might be like, God's presence changes everything in your life from
the inside out. No matter how your life appears on the outside, you can still
be full of the love of God. No matter how things appear to others, you can
still be happy, fulfilled, and overflowing with joy. The sufferings of life may
take away some of the joy for the moment, but God's eternal joy remains. The
poverty of life may grind you down for the moment, but the eternal wealth of
God's love remains forever and ever. The devastation put upon you by Satan may
empty your heart for the moment, but the fulfilling love of Christ fills your
heart for eternity.
