A Field of Daizy's

Green

Here in southwest Michigan, I am beginning to see tinges of green on the taller trees. The shorter ones and bushes have a little more covering on them. The lilac bush I can see from the window, has full-blown leaves. Everything is in it's own stage of development. And each is as exciting to watch grow as the other.

It is the same with serving our Lord. We are each in our own stage of development. Some are more mature in their walk with Jesus, they are greener than those who have not reached a more mature stage. Yet those who are not as far along in their relationship to God are just as beautiful as those who are. We must remember, we too, were once immature Christians. We must not look down on those who are not at our particular stage in our Christian life. Also, we have not achieved perfect Christian maturity. We will only attain that level when God's calls us to Heaven. We have quite a bit of maturing to do. And there are others who in turn are more mature than us.

So I thank God for how far He has brought me in my Christian maturity and pray tha I will continue to become what He wants me to be.
