Barely beholding the behavior of infants (little children) would remind us of how unnatural it is to see adults who are child-like at heart or children of the kingdom! When we thus see someone who struggles to forgive, offends habitually, pays lip service to repenting, is burdened by the cares and fears of tomorrow, would rather be independent than dependent, or who disregards order/spiritual authority, we have simply witnessed a conversation of an adult at heart rather than that of a child at heart. The course of this world has been subtly causing such a one to “grow old” rather than “grow young” (Ps. 110:3/103:5)
