Maturity is never measured by how long you’ve been a Christian. Maturity is not measured by how much knowledge you have. Maturity is measured by the character of Christ in your life; the stature of God flowing out of you.

Some think I just get on the automatic Christian road and just automatically get there, but it doesn’t happen that way. It’s going to require time; it’s going to require risk. It’s going to require you getting out of your comfort zone and pursuing the things and the promises of God.
