Growing up is hard work. But it’s normal. That’s what people do: grow up . . . in body, mind, heart, relationships, and emotions. Even though you will keep growing up all your life, there comes a time when you “are up.”
Even though it is hard work to grow up, to NOT GROW UP is unnatural, unhealthy, and even tragic.
Years ago when I was a teenager, I heard a song that touched my heart. The words of the chorus went like this –
“All He wants is you. No one else will do. Not just a part – He wants all of your heart. All He wants is all of you. All He wants is you!“
And no one sang that song like Frank! Tears ran down his face as he poured out his heart and this song into the listening ears of the teens at summer camp.
People can’t readily trust others these days. In fact, if they are truly honest, they can’t even fully trust themselves. Deep down, they know their perspective may be skewed and their judgment could be flawed.
