“When I was a child, I spoke and thought and reasoned as a child. But when I grew up, I put away childish things. Now we see things imperfectly, like puzzling reflections in a mirror, but then we will see everything with perfect clarity. All that I know now is partial and incomplete, but then I will know everything completely, just as God now knows me completely. Three things will last forever—faith, hope, and love—and the greatest of these is love.”
‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭13:11-13‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Like children we operate in part through our gifting. We don’t know all things. We know somethings and even those things are in partial knowledge.
Paul refers to himself as first a child, who lived in childish ways, and then as an adult who put away that childish understanding of the world when he became a man. The same will happen for believers when Christ returns. Our partial understanding about God will become full and mature. Even with our gifts we know Him in part. We reveal Him in part. Abilities are meant to "grow up" the church. The gifts are needed to keep the process of maturing going until He comes, then they will be needed no longer; but faith, hope and love will last forever.

The Ordinary Days!!!

…I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit…
Ephesians 4:1-4
