1 Corinthians 13:11-13
11 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. 12 For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known. 13 And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

Looking for the fantastic, self-serving edification, and acting without love are marks of spiritual immaturity. Growing up in Christ requires understanding beyond basic wants to God-driven desires of the heart. We do not see eternity, only looking at a dim enigmatic reflection, misted over the surface. When we stand before the Lord and Lamb, understanding will be clear without the mirrored sin in and before us. God’s pure love on top of and foundational to faith and hope will be fully realized... Oh, to see His face at last, how my heart yearns within me along with Job!
