Maturing to God


I Corinthians 13:11-13.

When I was a child, I understood as a child,
I had childish thoughts that were compiled;
Just how I also spoke each and every day,
But as a man I put my childish things away;
Now through a glass, but then face to face,
Now I know in part, then shall I know grace;
For faith, hope and love is within to abide,
The greatest of these is love that's inside.
There were a lot of things not understood,
As we were growing up through childhood;
For us everything was merely just a game,
For things done wrong we felt no shame;
We had no conscience as being immature,
Even though in being bad, our minds pure;
We had no perception of wrong and right,
Until our parents disciplined for insight;
In growing up, we then changed our views,
Realizing about having us to pay our dues;
Maturing as we accepted our responsibility,
Faith and hope in God, in love as priority.
