This isn't intended to be a very long blog post, because I desire to open up a discussion amongst my readers.
How do we exercise maturity when it matters most? Note: recent events in my life have caused me to make radical decisions about how I will live the next 3-5 years and then the rest of my life. Knowing this and then coming against other issues has really shown me where my heart stands. I'm learning to become firm in my stance on Love, which in simplest but not complete terms is to give one's life for another. In this way, I've seen in myself a maturity in my emotions (again I'm not perfect but in a fair amount of situations I am more capable of responding in love than in aggression) and my thoughts. Truly believing the intentionality of the heart is the root of a matter, that's where I go first. To seek the truth of the issue arising. Then I try to deal with the miscommunication of the issue. When these things seek to divide I try to use them as doorways to deeper unity. This is how I've grown in Maturity when it matters.
