grow up mature

Tuesday: So clean house! Make a clean sweep of malice and pretense, envy and hurtful talk. Now, like infants at the breast, drink deep of God's pure kindness. Then you'll grow up mature and whole in God. To get ready for the journey, drink deep of God’s pure kindness. Just as breast milk has been shown to be so important to the nutritional, medical and psychological needs of an infant, so we too, when starting out our life in Christ, need the proper nourishment. That nourishment is defined as “God’s pure kindness.” With this as the basis of our walk with God, we are able to fill all we do with that same kindness. It helps build up our immunities to such things as greed, malice, anger, deceit, and most of all, self-righteousness.
