Pure milk

Like newborn infants, long for the pure spiritual milk, that by it you may grow up into salvation - I Peter 2:2.

This verse came fresh today as I was returning from church. Our baby is a week old now and seeing her need is only pure milk, only mother's milk. Nothing else. We cannot feed her water, chicken or ice cream. She just wants only mother's milk.

Peter's use of image made sense. As believers we are not to feed on "So put away all malice and all deceit and hypocrisy and envy and all slander (I Peter 2:1).
