Today's post will be VERY short--as I thought about what to write ---I knew the subject did not need my pontification. The subject really needs you to ponder--mull it over--and decide for yourself.
Out of the blue it occurred to me that every attribute God is trying to show us--teach us--He possesses. Every fruit of the Spirit--is a virtue of God. SO are all or at least most of the lessons contained in The Word, most of our life experiences--all pointed to growing those virtues of God Himself? If we are created in God's image---as our own children are born in our image---does our Heavenly Father then point us toward how we should look--not physically but spiritually? The only difference in earthly parents and God is the earthly parents come to a point of no longer teaching--they realize we are beyond those malleable years. God never stops teaching us--as long as we are on this road to sanctification--He continues to grow us.
Now your turn to think this over.
"The Lord is good and upright;
Therefore He instructs sinners in the way.
He leads the humble in justice,
And He teaches the humble His way.
All the paths of the Lord are faithfulness and truth
To those who comply with His covenant and His testimonies."
Psalm 25:8-10
May God never stop teaching us, and may we always be ready to learn.
