Faith is believing in what we can NOT see. We must remember that when we grow impatient with God or grow weary while we wait. Waiting for our God is part of the process of growing in Him. A child does not go from 1 years old to 18 years old in a span of 6 months, the child grows and matures and develops year after year. That is how God views us. We are His children and as we learn more and more about Him, we grow and mature and develop in our Faith. But He does not do this for us. We must seek His counsel, educate ourselves on the Word and apply what we read. We cannot be a biblical scholar but show no compassion or love when we are in the world. We will never mature in God if we get mad and give up on Him when He does not answer our prayer. Do you know how many women I know that are bitter with God because He never sent them a mate? They used God like He was an online dating service. Can you imagine? People that know about Jesus do not automatically act like Him. We must view our Christianity as a growing relationship. It takes time, effort and practice. Have you ever met a Christian person that does not act like one? I teach my little tots every Sunday to show God's love with each other. Share toys, talk with each other at snack and be kind to one another. I found myself saying the same things to my grown women I managed for years and years. Be kind, show God's love, be nice. People are people with character flaws and quirks. The Lord can change us in every way if we are willing to ask and receive it. He will develop us as we walk in Faith. But it takes time. We must vow to live for God, act like God and I am telling you, you will make the difference. Learn about Him, grow in Him and seek Him and you will be a beacon of light this world needs.
Philippians 3:12-16
