The Winds of Change

The way to grow is never easy. A Child nursing breast or a bottle is doing a pleasant thing that will enable him to grow, it seems easy. We eat, exercise, and do many things to make the body grow. Study, read, listen and learn to make our intellect grow. However it is a different matter in getting the inner man to change.

St. Paul said in 1 Cor. 13:11. "When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child and I thought as a child: but when I became a man I put away childish things". I for one see myself doing childish things, sometime.
I want to do good, I want to help, I don't want to be selfish,but how? I find it is like raking the leaves that fall,
the first day your muscles ache from your arms and shoulders not being used to the strenuous workout. In a day or two of raking, the muscles grow stronger.

When I want to help and I see a need. I must make my brain muscles to work in behalf of my Spirit. Tell yourself GO, and help, so our weak sagging spiritual muscles respond and get going." A few times of this and there is change.
Embrace the change and grow.
