Crave the growth

As babies we did a lot of things that weren't so right. We were not potty trained, we did not communicate our problems very well, and we didn't eat right. We were given formula or milk that was specifically for us and we did it in a way that we got all of the nutrition we could. We did, however, do one thing well. We strived to grow, we worked hard to grow every day through properly eating, through experiencing new things, and through working different parts of our brains and bodies.
Today, however we are adults, fully functioning in society. I will venture a guess that over half of us can't remember the last time we actually had a glass of milk. Many of us watch what we eat and make sure we don't get too many carbs, or calories, or fat content. We read labels for nutritional value as if they are the Gospel. We do all this while many times neglecting our spiritual growth.
1 Peter 2:2 "Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation, now that you have tasted that the Lord is good."
There you have it, we shouldn't just grow, we should crave growth. We should crave all that is good and about God in a way that we understand that God is good. As a child we didn't want anything that wasn't in that bottle until we realized it was good, then we would eat every bite of it. Soon after that we wouldn't accept the bottle, because we craved what was in the jar, in the next spoonful and so on.
So crave growth, spiritual growth so that you can continue to grow. Growth is one thing, craving growth with everything you have is different. God is looking for workers, workers who crave growth, and love to motivate others to do the same.
Thanks for reading and have a great weekend!
