How dedicated are we to maturing ourselves as Christians?
When it comes to self-help topics, I admit we do fairly well. We love to know how we can benefit. Our hearts are usually even in the right place in that we want to do it for God's glory and not just satisfy our personal needs.
But this is where we fail: How willing are we to help mature others?
I'm not talking about lambasting them with the rights and wrongs. We are called to encourage, support, and correct one another out of love: Love for them and a common love of our Savior Jesus Christ. By this all people will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another. John 13:35 When we truly love someone, we want them to grow in the Lord and be satisfied as well.
How much time are you willing to dedicate to others in this way?
Don't make the excuse that you don't know enough. The Lord will be with you as you seek Him together. We are never called to stop mentoring or being mentored. Honestly, I have learned more since I started ministering to others than I ever did before, and you will too.
Please prayerful consider how you can help in maturing your fellow brothers and sisters in Christ.
We need each other.
We need you.
True. The problem is that today people are soooo obsessed with "complimenting their friends" alllll the time. All anyone ever wants to hear is how good they are at something etc. Bluk. Haha.
