“Praise to God for a Living Hope,
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,...”
1 Peter 1:3
I always think about the relationship between a new birth and a child. Do you?
Well,probably it is because a child has that innocence in her behaviour. She says what she thinks and acts accordingly.
It is certain that a child has to grow and develop to maturity. It is not different with a Christian person, who accepts Jesus Christ in her life. It is a new birth with Jesus Christ. The person needs time to learn, grow and develop to maturity.
There is no perfection, and when we grew up, we quit our childish ways, but since and then, every time we need a new start is like the first steps of a child. It requires time, training, fix.
What makes a child confident, happy and strong?
Love, care, food, and time. This is our walk with God!
We need time.
