Spiritual Growth
January 11, 2024
A new year gives us the opportunity to set new bench marks in our lives. Health goals (usually weight loss) Bible readying goals (at least through the Bible) savings goals. All of these are good. But how about Spiritual growth? How does that look? Am I growing?
Let’s look back. I remember my trips to Africa serving widows, and other measurable ‘actions.’ I was recently challenged by the marks of a believer: self-sacrifice, self-control, self-surrender. Hard to measure, harder to live. What have I given up for the sake of a fellow believer, for a family member. Self-control for the sake of my budget, my health, others who might be watching me.
It’s a new year. My opportunity to set those as new goals. My aim? Spiritual growth.
