While I was sitting on the bleachers at a ballgame Monday night, nearby was a little boy not much older than 4 years old severely handicapped with what appeared to be Muscular Dystrophy. He was unable to walk.
My heart felt a sense of heaviness seeing him. Apparently, Dad felt it too. The analogy he made is that we feel a sense of sadness when child does not develop according to the norms. Parents seek aggressive therapy and treatment. However, when we see professing Christians who are not developing, whose growth is stunted by the influences of the world, does it give us pause? Does it grieve the Heavenly Father?
I Peter 2:2 "As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:"
God help us to feel the heart of God.
