Maturity


Ecclesiastes 1:18     New English Translation

18 For with great wisdom comes great frustration;

whoever increases his knowledge merely increases his heartache.

 

Mature in spirit

 

Perpetual contrition, a state of a mature spirit

So if we do not always sin, sin is always with us

A fallen primary condition that we did inherit

We need to address quickly in heart as thus

 

To be equipped and detect the sin that easily besets us

Should bring us into mourning without any hesitation

Dis-harmony with the Holy gets removed from within us

So the relationship stays pure through God’s communication
