Becoming A Complete Adult
The encouragement to “grow-up” and do things for ourselves is evident from the time we are born. Some of us were slower than others to learn new ways, but most of us discovered how to cope with life in the environment we grew up in. Sadly, as children, many of us never heard of, or met this God who created a place within us to know Him. One of the things that helps make us complete as adults is getting to know the God who created us and loves us with unfailing love.
Don’t let anyone capture you with empty philosophies and high-sounding nonsense that come from human thinking and from the spiritual powers of this world, rather than from Christ. For in Christ lives all the fullness of God in a human body. So you also are complete through your union with Christ, who is the head over every ruler and authority. (Colossians 2:8-10 NLT)
“Look! I stand at the door and knock. If you hear my voice and open the door, I will come in, and we will share a meal together as friends. (Revelation 3:20 NLT)
Jesus paid the price for our healing and restoration to wholeness. He also paid the price for the sin of that parent or acquaintance who neglected us or was abusive towards us. Let’s get free today from everything that hinders us and allow Jesus to work together everything in our life for our good and His glory.
The Lord will work out his plans for my life – for your faithful love, O Lord, endures forever. Don’t abandon me, for you made me. (Psalm 138:8 NLT)
Prayer: Lord Jesus, I confess my life is a mess. I turn all my burdens over to You and ask You to give me the desire and power to do what pleases You. Amen
