Big Boy Pants

I realize that others are reading these posts, but most of this is directed at me.  I got this revelation a week ago, and now its hitting me in the eyes again.  And since this seems to be such a spiritual "slap upside the head"... I figured I'd write it down.

I was reading Hebrews and these verses jumped off the page at me for the second time in as many weeks.  Chapter 5:12-14

"For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.
For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil."

I'm supposed to be much stronger in my faith and in my walk with Christ than I am now.  Rather than being that powerhouse that he made me to be, I sometimes have to have basic principles drilled into my head again - that God loves me.  That God will NEVER leave me.  That God looks at me and sees his beloved son.  When I lose sight of any of this is when I get frustrated and start drifting into things that I know have no place in my life.  Somebody has to treat me like a baby and show me how to walk again - as opposed to me teaching others to stand and fight.  

I truly am tired of being a liability to the Gospel and I strive to be an asset now.  The message that I get from the above passage is simple:  you are the chosen of God.  Put on your big boy pants and go be what you're supposed to be!
