infancy

"We have much to say about this, but it is hard to explain because you are slow to learn. In fact, though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you the elementary truths of God's word all over again. You need milk, not solid food!" - Hebrews 5:11-12

When will I learn?? Let it be now...I'm aching to change...

Learning to truly delight in God is a discipline. It amazes me how all Aaron E's posts sound something like this:

"I have been resting more lately. Not in my schedule or business, but in my heart. I have been spending more concerted time seeking God and taking in the Word lately and it has made all the difference. Oh, how He loves His children!

You know, I'm a needy and co-dependant man. That may not sound right but it's biblical. (Matt. 5:3, Romans 8:15, Galatians 4:6) This man needs the sustenance and graces of a Loving Father. Mostly, I have needed to enter into the presence of God and allow Him to refresh and encourage my heart. His Word does this to me...and it cuts me to the core. Oh, how He loves and disciplines his children!"

"In spite of it all the treasure of my day is finding rest with Jesus, the Lover of my soul."

Joy not in circumstance, but in who God is. Strength not from self, but from the Word of God. I need to learn to do this daily: "enter into the presence of God...allow Him to refresh and encourage my heart...find rest with Jesus, the Lover of my soul."

Please pray for me...that I will not be a tree that does not bear fruit when watered and tended by the Gardener...
