All of life's lessons
"First a leaf blade pushes through, then the heads of wheat are formed, and finally the grain ripens." Mark 4:28
Just so, all of life's lessons are slowly learned. It is the work of years to school our . . .
wayward wills — into uncomplaining submissiveness;
our hard, proud, selfish hearts — into soft, gentle thoughts,
and our harsh, chattering tongues — into sweet, gracious speech.
The natural process of spiritual growth is first the blade, then the heads, then the ripened grain — and these developments require time.
We cannot have the wheat bud, blossom, and ripen — all in one day.
We must be content to learn the great lessons of life very slowly.
