"When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child.  When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me"-1 Corinthians 13:11 (NIV).

  

The "Peter Pan Syndrome" is not the life God has intended for His children.  When you totally surrender to the Lord, you begin to grow in and by the knowledge of God (Colossians 1:10).  It is God, Who causes you to grow (Colossians 2:19) and your faith and your mission will greatly expand (2 Corinthians 10:15).  God will give you the increase, bearing fruit (Isaiah 11:1) even until your old age (Psalm 92:14).  You will flourish (Proverbs 11:28) and "cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations (Isaiah 61:11).  Remember where Peter Pan lived...Never Never Land.  As J.M. Barrie, author of Peter Pan, wrote, "Never is an awfully long time."  Desire to grow up!
