One
common trait among children is impatience. One minute they
are excited about going some place, the next minute they are
complaining about why it’s taking long to get there. So,
they nag every few miles of travel saying, "Are we there yet?"
Well, this impatience or excitement to
arrive at the destination is not characteristic of children
alone, but adults as well; especially when it comes to spiritual
matters. Perhaps, this is why we are referred to as
"Little children," in the Bible. As far as God is concerned we
are little children.
