Inmaturity
1 Corinthians 3:2-3
2 I fed you milk, not solid food, for you were not yet ready.
In fact, you are still not ready, 3 for you are still influenced by the flesh.
For since there is still jealousy and dissension among you,
are you not influenced by the flesh and behaving like unregenerate people?
Pour out your heart and flood the room with your emotions
Truth gets often lost in the quantity of confession
Often this is not God but guilt and its devotion
That the flesh at any cost will integrate in aggression
You should be set free by now but you hunger for bondage
You were delivered long ago from sin in which you bathed
You matured surely too fast and lost your child-like faith
As you were delivered although you accepted this in haste
Maturing in Christ Jesus is a growth of righteous hunger
Faith should stay child-like secured from far up yonder
Guided by the Spirit and held by the Almighty Creator
Who in love prepares you to be at peace now and later …
