On the question of fear, ask yourself: Do I fear growing up and being responsible for myself?
God is in the job of maturing or growing up his children. I heard that the only word God uses for us is His “children.” Not grandchildren, not friends, not just acquaintances. Father God calls us his children.
I John 3:1 says, “How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God!”
And what do children do? They grow up.
While I am always God’s child, I have matured a great deal in my time with him. I no longer look to those that reject me and ask them to give me a stamp of approval. I no longer believe that the parents who birthed me have any care or concern for me — they just don’t. I stopped believing the lies that kept me stuck. Lies that consumed me and told me I had no worth. Lies that told me not to try because I wasn’t going to make it anyway.
It’s been a bit painful to leave the journey of childish ways. Ways that allowed me to stay stuck because I believed I couldn’t do better. A belief system that beckoned me to fail chasing a kind of love that just didn’t exist.
Oh, I prefer growing up. That way I can choose to kick the ass of those that held me down and get on down the road!
