Just wanted to blog
Not much going on around here and in general that is good. We had a good discussion last night at our small gathering, about progressing in our transformation with God, about how that might look after we die. It just makes you think.
I wonder some times about spiritual maturity. I think it has a lot to do with regular maturity, age and attitude. I have seen plenty of 40-50 somethings act like they wish they were 20 something, and look pretty silly. I have seen 20 somethings act twice as old too. I think that different levels of maturity need different levels of proof. Like how fast a prayer is answered. Or how soon their house sells. Some people need rules to feel like they are progressing down the spiritual path. Some people need to work or do things for other people to feel worthy of all the great things God has promised us. I think some people feel like they have to suffer in some way in order to be spiritual. I think in some way you have to go through all that along the way. As you progress through each stage you become clearer on where you need to focus. I know that focusing on problems only makes them worse, yes you need to deal with them, but if you keep your focus on God the problems become less. When you have a supports system of other Christians on the same journey dealing with the same life stuff it is good. We all need to realize we are on a transformational journey and it never really ends. I like that, because I like me better all the time. I can see me change for the better, not that I still don't need A LOT of work, but God is good and he is along the journey with me. He makes me better, He helps me to see what needs to be changed, and He helps me love others and that is good.
