Steady Growth

So often I learn something new...either an interesting fact about the Bible or more often, a life lesson about how I can be a better person...and I think, why didn't I learn this a long time ago?

The fact of the matter is, I really would love to already be perfect. It frustrates me that even when I'm old and gray, I'll still be doing dumb things and hurting people.

But it hit me the other day that if God taught me everything I needed to know to be who he wants me to be before I was 10, it would be overwhelming. I'd be overloaded and perhaps paralyzed by the realization of all those shortcomings at once.

God, in his wisdom, teaches me just what I need to know when he needs me to know it.
