Ways to Spiritual Growth – The Unspoken Walk
Paul Eckert About to Spiritual Growth by Marita L Harden.
Have you ever felt spiritually stuck, or just felt a need to grow more in Christ? If you have ever felt this way, it’s actually a good thing. I believe that as Christians we should never be content with our walk with God, but continuously looking for ways to get closer to him. In order to grow closer to God you first have to consider the following:
1) You must first look at yourself. Yes, you have to examine yourself thoroughly. You must realize that your walk with God is a personal walk and must not be compared to anyone else. People often compare themselves with others and often feel disappointed when they may not measure up. You will never measure up because God called you to be you and not like someone else. Once you can accept that you can only be you, and then this will help your spiritual growth.
2) Confidence is also very important. People come to Christ from all walks of life and can suffer from spiritual low self esteem. You should not be ashamed of your past, in fact we all have a past. The truth of the matter is, that we were all different before our “BC” days….Before Christ. You have nothing to be ashamed of, your are not defined by your past. When you became saved, you were made a new creature and all old things were passed away. Lift your head high and walk in God’s love.
3) Testimony of your walk. You have a testimony for one reason…….. to share it with others. So many people can be delivered from your very own life’s experiences. Going back to spiritual confidence, once you obtain it, you can move forward and share how God’s moved in your personal life. You weren’t given a testimony to keep it to yourself……let people see God in your life.
