No Excuses - Just Simply Love
"When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, 10 Minute Awakening ReviewI reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me." -1 Corinthians 13:11 (TNIV)There comes a time in our lives, if we're extremely fortunate, when a spirit of change, and an earnest seeking to truly mature, sweeps over us. None of us are born mature; and to a point, we never really 'arrive' at maturity.
We might ask, 'If I'm an adult, what are "childish ways"? ... Haven't I already dealt with my childishness?'Not according to Paul. 'Childish ways' are displayed by physically-adult people all the time.A form of childishness is selfishness; another is to love conditionally. It's an emotio-spiritual (my word) childishness that leaves one barely adult at all. And half of it stems from a mental childishness, based in disciplines never acquired and myelinations (neural pathways) never created.
