Spiritual maturity comes from not only knowing Jesus Christ but from the growth of our spiritual strength and faith in Him. Through the many trials and tribulations we have endured and overcome with unwavering faith through it all. Coming out of those times celebrating Jesus the same way we did as we went into them. There are times when we'll miss when we were children, especially when difficult situations presents itself. Because it's easy. But it takes a different level of maturity for us to handle more serious and malicious situations, as we bear a greater responsibility and are held to a higher level of accountability. Whatever the situation. Jesus can handle it. Have courage, He will see us through it.
