More DescriptionMine sure was. For so long I viewed the Father as some ultra holy, silent entity, that was only there when I summoned Him. And when summoned He wouldnt talk, Hed only listen. I had the language pretty much down pat. "Christianese" is what they call it, and boy was I good at it! When needed, I was a master at walkin the walk and talkin the talk. A superficial Christian skilled in keeping up appearances. But one day God got my attention in a BIG way! I was knocked to my knees and forced to come before Him naked for the very first time. And for the first time He made me understand that he wanted me to be as open and as honest as I could possible be when coming before Him. After all, its not like Hes not been walking with me all day anyway. He revealed to me that He no longer wanted me to be fake and superficial in my interactions with Him, no matter what I had done, no matter how I was feeling. It is as the title says...I am "Still Growing" and God is well aware of that reality.
