(1Th 2:7) “But we were gentle among you, even as a nurse cherisheth her children:” Sometimes we expect more of a Believer (a turned-from-sin, born-again, Spirit indwelt Child of God) than we should, simply because they have not had time to grow. Yet, on the other hand, there are some things we should see as evidence of their genuineness. One: a deep desire to please Him, to obey Him (Php_2:13) “For it is God which worketh in you both to will (desire) and to do of his good pleasure.” The other is a desire to grow closer to Him, as a child with a parent: (Gal_4:6) “And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.” These two things will be found in the heart of every true child of God
