Bible Note: Hi, Reighn! I must totally agree with you... we are created in the image and likeness of God--potentially we have the wisdom and abilities of being children of God from get-go! It is out of pure obstinance that we reject Life: Light: God! (John 3:19-21) Even as children, when our cognitive abilities are not yet honed, the Spirit of God guides us to behave in obedience to God... It is an innate mechanism that steers us to God--the reason why though we may find ourselves in a crowd of tens of thousands we still have that empty feeling, that feeling of missing something... If we choose to obey God, our relationship with Jesus begins to form and our potential (spiritual growth) is unlimited! But most of us are quick to embrace foolishness as we keep our eyes set on instant gratification (pleasures of the world) while putting aside our Heavenly quest... we silence God's voice within us and we waste years or lifetimes seeking to fill the void that only Christ can fill!
