When I was a child....

When I was a child I spoke like a child, thought like a child, reason like a child but when I became a man, I did away with childish things. What exactly are childish things?
Christ himself said we had to come unto him as a child, with child-like faith.
I think we mature beyond that as we come to know the nature of God. I think as we come to understand more and more about the love of the Father, the grace of Christ and the direction of the Holy Spirit we have to adapt. The spoonfed knowledge and wisdom no longer comes to us. I need to seek Him for direction. I need to seek the Kingdom so all my needs can be given to me. It has to be intentional. Over and over I sit and wait with my mouth open wide waiting to be fed. I think that if I wait long enough God is faithful but it has to be more accessible. His Will has to be more accessible than that. OH well there is the Word, maybe if I search the Word it has direction for me. I had been thinking about something completely different when I was originally wrote this yesterday but now its clear to me that when we mature or rather the more we mature, the more intimate our relationship should be. Thats why we receive this overwhelming presence of God when we seek after Him. He wants us to be able to stomach it. Not to lose delight in those moments but you don't eat steak directly after breastfeeding in the same way He wants us to be able to chew on his presence, to be able to digest his goodness. His love just flows continuously and if you don't learn how to drink it in properly you'll drown. Thus, the overwhelming feeling but when you become prepared and mature enough to handle those things the emotional response is not nearly as amazing as the response of your spirit receiving the power and refreshing that it is receiving. We can have all of the good feelings in the world but once you mature past the stage of wonderment with his presence itself and get to the understanding of his presence and how to use that power for his Kingdom your world is transformed. I wouldn't be writing this right now if I wasn't in the same place because out of the abundance of the heart my mouth speaks thus I am seeking to indulge in the meaty goodness of God's presence until I know how to digest it.
Those who read this pray and seek God today for his presence to be a steady stream through your heart. Don't quench the spirit. Don't hold it back. God wants to move through you. He wants to abide in you. Just drink it in and you will slowly but surely reach an understanding beyond human measure I am sure of it.
