The Gate — J Calaway — Make Today Count — The path to Maturity
May 2, 2025 • J Calaway
Have you ever wondered why some people seem wise beyond their years, while others, despite their age, still act immaturely? It’s not about the candles on your birthday cake—it’s about the experiences you endure and what you learn from them.
‘Man mature through pain, failure, rejection, loss, disrespect, and heartbreak, not through age.’
There is a theme throughout the Bible that points to the path of maturity, Trials, Tests, and Trouble (James 1:2-4)
Life gives us tests then the lesson
School gives us the lesson then the test
We are required to ‘grow up’ not simply ‘grow old’. (Ephesians 4)
