The goal of every follower of Christ should be to become more like Christ.
Spiritual growth doesn't happen by accident, it must be intentional.
We grow spiritually by living out our faith every day. Our faith cannot just be a Sunday faith.
In our faith journey we can learn from our mistakes. God gives us grace to grow in our understanding.
“Our messes and misses can become messages of miracles if we confess and turn them over to God” – Leonard Sweet
We often raise our hands in disbelief when we go through sufferings and trials, but James, the brother of Jesus, told us that when we go through these we grow. They produce something in us.
It's in our moments of faithfulness and habits that we see growth in our spiritual life.
Reflect or meet with someone to discuss:
What part of a growth process are you most passionate about?
What part of a growth process gets you the most frustrated?
What steps do you take that help you the most in your spiritual growth?
How would you define your spiritual life today - growing, stagnant or empty? What can you do to continue or better your level of growth?
