Growth

Christian growth is a lifetime process, but it is also seasonal. If you think you've arrived at spiritual maturity, guess what? You--like the rest of us--have a long way to go. Spiritual maturity will be obtained when you get Home. Until then, God will be teaching you and disciplining--training--you so that you can continue to grow. And there are times in our lives when we will not be growing. That's normal Christianity. God is working on something, and He's letting you rest up and get strengthened for it. Be patient--a growth spurt is coming. Stay in the Word and keep walking in obedience--apply that spiritual "fertilizer"--the Spirit's miracle grow.
