It is never easy to grow. After starting growing I understood Peter Pan's troubles, it is much fun and easier to be a child, less responsibilities, less problems, when we are children life is all wonder land.
To grow may hurt sometimes, it seems like God is pulling us up by the head and we are stretching all over, in faith, size and hopefully, in wisdom., like Jesus did.
"And Jesus was increasing in wisdom and in years, and in grace before God and men." Luke 2:52
We have to grow, we need to. There is no scape. Every age has its own grace and fun, we shouldn't worry about changing. Growing is like a butterfly coming out, and we have to get rid of the old shelf in order to become a new being, with a new format, it hurts of course, but the result is mostly beautiful.
"you have become like babies who have need of milk, and not of solid food." Hebrews 5:12
"But solid food is for men of full growth, even for those whose senses are trained by use to see what is good and what is evil." Hebrews 5:14
We should not accept to be small, we should growth, in all senses, specially on the spiritual side.
We should want to grow and be able to eat solid food as the Bible says.
And if we are not prepared, we shall pray and ask God for guidance, like we would when we were only five and couldn't tie our shoe laces. He will hold our hands, and teach us where to go. And when our heads hurt of thinking and our backs hurt of stretching, He will be there I'm sure.
