"Like newborn babies you should crave - thirst for, earnestly desire - the pure (unadulterated) spiritual milk, that by it you may be nurtured and grow unto (completed) salvation."
(1 Peter 2:2 Amp.)

We all begin as spiritual babies when we are first born into the Kingdom of God. Like newborn babies we're not very strong or well-developed. We flail around trying to learn about our new environment. But God never meant for us to stay that way.

That's why in 1 Peter 2:2, He says we should "desire the sincere milk of the word, that we may grow..." He intends for us to grow up! He intends for us to feed on His word, moving from the milk of the Word to the meat of the Word until we grow up into mature sons and daughters.

Find your nourishment in His Word and enjoy the reward of growing up in Him!
