Growing older is mandatory. MATURITY IS AN OPTION.


Growing older is mandatory.  MATURITY IS AN OPTION.

Immaturity sees life as a cup to be drained. Maturity sees life as a measure to be filled.  Anyone can count the seeds in an apple.  It takes a wise person to count the apples in a seed.

Immaturity over emphasizes self.  Maturity is more concerned with personal duty than personal rights.  Our world needs more warm hearts and fewer hot heads.

Immaturity either idolizes money or seeks to escape the responsibility of wisely using the material.  Maturity regards money as stored up energy to be earned honorably and used carefully with respect to God and people.

Immaturity either minimizes God into an impersonal figurehead or loses Him in short-lived emotionalism.  Maturity joyfully accepts God’s word with the heart and the head.
