Galatians 4:19 New International Version (NIV)
19 My dear children, for whom I am again in the
pains of childbirth until Christ is formed in you,
What was Paul's goal for the new Christians he worked with?
He wanted them to come to full maturity in Christ (see Colossians 1:28-29).
He knew the Holy Spirit would help them in this process if they would focus
their hearts on Jesus and seek to reflect Jesus' character in their lives (2
Corinthians 3:18). So as we go through our daily activities, let's honor his
goal — let's let Jesus come to life in us.
Thought for today:
Am I more childlike in wonder and expectations or childish and demanding about
the things of God?
