Spiritual growth

Am I growing in love for God and people? The real issue is what kind of people we are becoming. Practices such as reading Scripture and praying are important – not because they prove how spiritual we are – but because God can use them to lead us into life. We are called to do nothing less then to experience day by day what Paul wroute to the church at Ephesus: “But God, who is rich in mercy, out of the great love with which he loved us even when were dead throught our trespasses made us alive together with Christ”. Following Jesus simply means learning from Him how to arrange my life around activities that enable me to life in the fruit of the Spirit. The true indicator of spiritual well-being is growth in the ability to love God and people.
