When we look at God He tells us His Grace is sufficient:
2Co 12:9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
Sometimes I feel we expect too much out of our Babes in Christ. Many times those that have been in church a long time forget just how much a mess they used to be. I can remember when I first got saved how embarrassed I felt when I ran into someone in my church who I worked with before I got saved. I didn’t like the old wrenched man I used to be. In the same respect as we look our own children & grandchildren we don’t spank our 18 month old kids because they don’t walk very good.
Now on the other hand if we have been serving Christ for many years & haven’t grown any then something needs to change in our life. We would think it really strange to see someone 40 years old running around in a diaper & sucking on a bottle. God Said Grace not Grease. Too many people want to use God as a magic Genie & not grow up. His grace is not there for us to see just how much we can do wrong so we can prove how great his grace is. Thank The Lord Jesus for the mercy He has shown us by dying for our sins so we no longer have to live in them.
