Subject: Time to put away childish things
1 Corinthians 13:11
When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
Rarely do I speak of personal feelings here. I'm not one to air my dirty laundry to the world as so many others do. I feel led, however, to confess that I've not really lived up to 1 Cor 13:11 even at my age. It has been a few days since this verse came into my mind and has stayed there leaving me a great compulsion to live up to it. I feel the Lord is urging me to leave behind all my childish ways so He can make me the man He needs me to be and give me the Kingdom work he needs me to do. What will He ask me to do? When He knocks at the door will I answer? I admit that I've not had a heart of obedience for Jesus and I think that is one of the childish ways He is asking me to leave behind. I grow weary of disobedience anyway. Submitting to His will is so much easier and He does a better job with my life than I can ever do on my own.
