When I Grow Up...

In an email from Minister Maurice over at Living Water Ministry (see sidebar), God'z Man wrote to me that the Lord had asked him one time what a Baptist is when he matures. When God'z Man replied that he didn't know, the Lord told him, "A Christian." When next asked what a Pentecostal is when he matures, God'z Man again replied that he didn't know, so the Lord again said "A Christian."

Some of the wisdom that he communicates sounds very inspired. The Lord must be doing something in Minister Maurice's life!

Anyway, we ask our kids what they want to be when they grow up, that is, when they mature physically, trying to get them to think about (and maybe even prepare for) their future.

How much more so should we think about (and maybe even prepare for) eternity?

2 Cor 5:10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.

When you get there, do you want to have been part of His problems, or part of His solutions?

Or, put another way: When you get to eternity, when you have matured spiritually, what do you want to be?
