FRIED GREEN BANANAS

I tried to fix some Fried Bananas this afternoon, but I used green bananas instead of Plantains or really ripe bananas! They looked good, but they weren't ripe enough and just weren't soft enough to swallow.They needed more time to mellow before they could be of good use.
In the same way, God can use all the believers in the body of Christ, but the most benefit will come from those believers who have aged or mellowed in their walk with the Lord! A "green" Christian might not hold up under fire, because of their their lack of experience in God's word!
"Test and show yourself approved..." and when you know and really digest God's word, you will use it and you will live it everyday, and under any circumstance!
Unlike my Fried Bananas, when a difficult situation arises, you will be able to serve up a platter of the solid word of God's truth that you will be able to digest and that will fortify you forever!
