God expects us to grow up spiritually. When we allow love to reign in our heart, it changes our whole perspective. A preacher becomes a minister, an administrator becomes a pastor, a singer becomes a worship leader, a board member becomes a servant, a committee chairperson becomes an enabler, a pew sitter becomes an encourager, a churchgoer becomes a helper, and a church becomes a refuge of love and compassion. Let us be willing to put aside childish things and allow God s love to direct our speech, our thoughts, our reason. We will find that we will see things differently and we will think differently.
Love causes remarkable changes in our life.
For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. While we are here on this earth, we can only see heavenly things dimly. We cannot fully understand the eternal, and we only have partial knowledge of God s plan for us and all the other dwellers on this planet. There will come a time when we meet Jesus face to face that things will become much more understandable, but now we are viewing through a dark glass. We only understand part of what God wants for us.
