spiritual GROWTH

A lot of us get discouraged because we think we're not growing spiritually. When you exercise physically, eventually you see physical results. Spiritual growth looks different from physical growth.

You can think of it as you getting taller as you got older; each day you saw no growth, but other people noticed you getting taller. Other people see your spiritual growth. You might be growing drastically and not even know it.

How can you tell? Well, has your decision-making matured? Have you outgrown some things or some people? Have your priorities shifted?

Are any of these attributes increasing in your life? love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control? (Galatians 5:22-23)

If you can say yes to any of these, you are growing spiritually. Sometimes change can happen overnight, but most of the time it is a process. Instead of perfection, think about progression.

Now, I will say there is a certain glow with people who grow spiritually, but we'll save that for another discussion.
