Cry Out For This Nourishment

This is a baby seagull enjoying the lake's refreshing water and the summer's comforting warmth. The Bible tells us we need to be like babies, and cry out for the nourishment of the pure spiritual milk of God's unchanging Word. Then once we have tasted the Lord's kindness, we need to get rid of all evil behaviour, such as deceit, hypocrisy, jealousy and all unkind speech. Never is there any call for a person to speak unkind words to someone, or commonly now write a letter or message with unkind words to a person. This is not spiritual maturity, but evil behaviour.

"So get rid of all evil behaviour.

Be done with all deceit,

hypocrisy,

jealousy,

and all unkind speech.

Like newborn babies,

you must crave pure spiritual milk

so that you will grow into a full experience of salvation.

Cry out for this nourishment,

now that you have had a taste

of the Lord's kindness."

1 Peter 2:1-3 (NLT)
