This is the ultimate expression and maturity: You ability to face yourself and have self control by taking full responsibility for your good and bad parts. Here is an example of how Im doing this in my own life.
Maturity!
This is a topic that has been on my mind for a long time because for so many years I had thought I was mature but was still operating in a parent/child dynamic with other adults in my church. I thought I was mature because I was living by their values and expectations and because I was chosing to do it I was an adult. I didn't realize how much I was living in compulsion and fear of them wrongly judging me and condemning me for not complying with them. To top it off, I was a brand new Christian when I came into their fellowship so I was all ears and more than willing to do what was expected because I wanted to grow in my relationship with God and that was my priority.
Over the years I realized how that way of living was hindering my growth and development as a person. I realized I had perspectives and experiences that were relevant and shouldn't be hidden to keep the peace. God didn't hide his desire to have a relationship with me by exposing the issues hindering it, I shouldn't be ashamed of the things he came to die for and the grace he supplied in my life through giving me a life giving perspective that has altered the trajectory of my life.
I share these different perspectives through my own life experiences with this topic as well as what I'm currently learning for that week.
I hope this inspires and encourages you to grow into the person God created you to be with no apologies.
