No More Crayons
When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child, but when I became a man I put away childish things. I Corinthians 13:11
There are some things and some people you can’t take with you to the next level. For a young boy named Eugene Gibson it was never more clear than when he entered the seventh grade. Even though he was very excited to be leaving elementary school and entering junior high school, he was still upset. Horror came upon his face when he looked at the supply list for his classes. To his dismay, crayons were missing from the list. He had been through kindergarten and grades one to six and every year crayons were on the list. He had always enjoyed drawing in class, but now in the seventh grade crayons, weren’t needed. He asked his teacher, “Why were crayons not on the list?” And she said, “ There are some things you need to leave down there if you want to make it up here.”
When God takes us to another level in our walk with him there are some things and some people we need to leave. Some relationships we need to let go, some dreams we need not follow, some ways of thinking we need to forget, and some places we used to visit that we need not visit again.
God wants us to let the childish things go so we walk in Christian maturity with him. No more Crayons! No More Crayons! NO MORE CRAYONS!
