[:en]Weaning is an important process every child has to undergo. But most children resist weaning because they want to continue enjoying the special care and attention of their mother. However, weaning is the first step toward maturity and freedom. After a child has been weaned, he will no longer want to go back to babyhood. As he grows, he is moving out into a larger life living for the future.
This is also true with our spiritual life. God’s method for us to mature is through weaning. God has to wean us away from the things of the world to give us the best in our lives. He wants us to mature in Him and keep our souls closer to Him.
Be like a quieted child. Submit to the Lord and let him wean you.[:]
