I really do get tired of people that come down too hard on those that are new to the church scene and are beginners in spirituality. They did not reach where they are in Christ overnight, but somehow they expect the newcomers to be perfect. Don't let them mess up, the world has to know and you have to be made example of and put in the spotlight. We're all human and we're all coming from the same place, which is a sinful state. We are all the same!
As babes in Christ, just in an actual baby, we need to grow, develop and mature. It takes a lifetime to mature in the natural, and even emotional. It takes a great deal to do the same in the spiritual. Once you are a self dedicated Christian, you have declared your belief in Jesus Christ as the Savior. From here, lets call it spiritual training.
When you start a new job, most, if not all, people ask many questions. Despite how much they ask questions, they are bound to mess up. Someone has to come along and let them know what they did was wrong, why it was wrong and how not to do it again. When we first accept Christ, we are at that infant stage. We need nurturing. We will be learning, but we will be messing up. We will have to hit that "do over" button over and over again! We gotta try and try again until we get things right. Through multiple efforts we will come to realize God is helping us all along the way. If he's not, that could be the primary indicator to why we are failing so often. Especially if its the same thing that we're messing up on!
As God helps us in making fewer mistakes, your growth is increasing. You are maturing. You've moved past repenting every 5 minutes to repenting a few times a day. Yes, things happen. Yes, we may not mean to do them or even be aware that we did them. Instances are decreasing and that is the goal! Focusing on holiness and what God expects from us. Doing things like reading the bible will help you. Praying helps you. Fasting helps you. Meditation helps you. All topics that will be coming up in the near future.
Keep Looking For The Light!
