Maturity is not a given with numerical age. Wisdom is not necessarily something that comes with the passage of years. To grow beyond yourself is surely a start.
See the needs of others. Be a blessing.
Instead of chasing after things, seek the Lord’s wisdom for your life. Let Him work in you and through you for the glory of His Kingdom “for such a time as this!”
For it is written:
“If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, Who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.”
Just pay attention and stay open. Then, you will see His hand blessing you throughout your day. Heaven-sent blessings can be found in the humblest moments. Simplify your expectations.
Let God be God.
Let’s magnify the Lord every day and walk in His glory!

Even though a particular challenge has the same label for all afflicted, the manifestation is as unique as each individual.
Always remember: You are not your challenge; You are not the label; You are not only that.
For it is written:
“You have hedged me in behind and before, and laid Your hand upon me…I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; marvelous are Your works, and that my soul knows very well.”
Psalm 139:5, 14
Always remember that the same God who fashioned you and formed you in your mother’s womb is the
May the Lord shine His everlasting grace upon you.
May you arise in this season with His resurrection power and anointing to go forth in destiny to fulfill His Great Commission to His followers ‘for such a time as this!’
