“Brothers and sisters, I could not talk to you as spiritual people, but as fleshly people, as infants in Christ. I fed you milk, not solid food, because you were unable to take it. Indeed, you are still not able, even now, for you are still of the flesh. While there is jealousy and rivalry among you, are you not of the flesh, and walking according to the manner of man? Whenever someone says, “I belong to Paul,” and another, “I belong to Apollos,” are you not merely men? What is Apollos, after all, and what is Paul? Ministers through whom you became believers, just as the Lord assigned each one. I planted, Apollos watered, but God caused the growth. Therefore, neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God, who causes the growth. He who plants and he who waters are one, and each will receive wages in proportion to his labor. For we are God’s co-workers; you are God’s field, God’s building.”—1 Corinthians 3:1-9

If I listed the greatest failure of my apostolate (there are many), it is that I have failed to express or describe the grandeur of the Lord adequately. Most of the world remains ‘fleshy,’ and too few are willing to make that plunge, surrendering the flesh for spirituality. In the presence of the Holy Spirit, all was made right, questions removed, and Truth was solidified as if made of granite.

But how do I convey God’s perfection, His glory, power, love, mercy, and wisdom? He is beyond all of creation, infinitely greater than the sharpest mind. For eons, saints have tried to describe the indescribable. Perhaps Saint Paul said it best:

“But, as it is written, ‘What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the human heart conceived, what God has prepared for those who love him’—” 1 Corinthians 2:9

Moving from the flesh to the spiritual comes as a grace, and we must trust and have faith in God to expect that change.
