The question is common: "What do you want to be when you grow up?" - a challenge thrown at the imagination and the child's heart, which relates the very idea of ​​growing, with the realization of human potential.

The dream of being 'something' when you grow up has to do with what the person will do, build, exercise. That is to say: what is done is closely related to what is most basic in our life: being.

If the child hopes to grow to see his dream come true, everything will not go beyond mere delirium. If, however, the child takes the right attitudes over time, he has a better chance of making his dream come true.

There is much to be done, both in the production of goods and services for society, as in the family, as well as in the church of Christ - remembering that the Kingdom of God is in the first place.

As a child, who I am (and we all are) in the eyes of God, I always hear His question: "What do you want to be when you grow up?" I need to work to develop myself; and if I develop I can do something even greater, by the grace of God.

So: I want my church, too, to continue growing, making disciples? Am I developing my gifts in the Cause? Or do I simply hope that others are agents of my desires?

God himself - a worker from the beginning (John 5:17) - established good work for quality of life. And what are we doing, in response to that?

However, we exhort you, brothers, to progress more and more and diligently to live peacefully, take care of what is yours and work with your own hands, as we ordered; so that you dedicate yourselves with dignity to those outside and nothing you will need "(1 Thessalonians 4: 10-12).

Seek first the Kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you in addition. (Mt 6:33)
