lead

What begins as a seed has become a fully mature tree.  A mature tree is an important part of the health of the forest and each year produces new seeds which grow into even more trees.  A mature disciple is engaged in leading; discipling others and taking responsibility for the spiritual growth and maturity of other people.  Read Acts 16:1-5 which documents Paul investing in Timothy; what Paul had received from Barnabas and others was now given away to a young disciple.  A mature Christian helps others to participate in this discipleship cycle that we have received and are now passing on to others.

Do I have a clear sense of vocation; am I committed to leaving a legacy of mature disciples?
