learning, becoming?
I'm not talking about comfort or contentment or even happiness in the conventional meaning. I mean alive and in tune with ourselves and the world.
Did God put something in us that needs to grow toward a more complete state of being to be fulfilled?

Yes, that is how God created us. When you start to think you have all the answers and are as wise as you can get, that's when you're in trouble.

Yes. I believe that we are here to experience, learn and grow ever closer to God. I view God as the pure energy of love that comes through experience and understanding.

Life by definition is growth, right? When something is alive it is physically always growing. When it stops growing, it's dead. The same thing for people spiritually. Stop becoming and you start coming undone.

No insecurity taught by mankind put that there. You sound like you are having a hard time accepting yourself. This has nothing to do with God but guess what 99% of people have that same exact problem.

The biologists tell us "use it or lose it." If you don't continuously work toward growth, you lose the ability to stay really alive the way God wants us to be.

I am never content with my walk or my knowledge of the Bible. I want to learn more!!!! I love the Lord and strive to live according to His will.

We are not fully alive in mortality only in immortality. We have to go from death to life, we are on the road.....in the race to be run.

I think that's right. And I think that probably continues into the afterlife. When people get stagnant, that's when they start to become warped.

Yes, I do agree. We seem to fall apart if we aren't learning.
