Grown-Up Faith

How does our faith mature? We would like to think that faith can grow without difficulty and trials but faith can never grow unless we are tested. Faith can never mature until we are placed in desperate situations. Grown up faith is driven to the back side of the dessert and is challenged with hopelessness. Mature faith waits on God and receives Jesus' “no” as heartily as His “yes”. Can you trust Jesus even when He says “no”? That is grown up faith.
