From the Mouths of Babes!

The following reflection comes from someone just three months in the faith:

Lord, I have done so many things to hurt others and myself. I have lived in the worldly ways for so long that this journey in following you is strange to me. The more I practice the right way to live the more I get comfortable but I still look back sometimes. Why … when I have tasted of your wonderful love? I know I need never look back, but I feel like I am entering a realm that I am very unfamiliar with. I am not afraid to follow you but I am attacked constantly and am weak and cannot fight back without you. – Toni

Immature? Hardly! Sounds just about as spiritual as David in the Psalms. The pure honesty of new believers puts many of us “mature ones” to shame! Why do we rarely express these kinds of sentiments to God and others? Has our faith gotten layered with pretentiousness? Lord, help us.
