Infants in Christ

1 Corinthians 2: 1 "Brothers, I could not address you as spiritual but as worldly--mere infants in Christ."

      Lord, having birthed 3 children, I can relate to what Paul is saying here.  Babies need food fit for infants.  He had to address the Corinthians as worldly, not as spiritual at first because they were not able to digest more solid food.   I remember how gentle the lady who discipled me was in helping me to start understanding the basic truths. 
     Lord, I thank You for her gentleness and also for Paul's example in how to disciple newborns in the faith.  Infants need a lot of attention and feeding in between naps while their body digests what they have eaten.  So it is with new believers.  I remember we met everyday for about 30 minutes.  She  gave me just a little more to build onto what she had taught the day before.  Because of that, she was able to start feeding me baby food within about a month and real food within about 4 months.
