By Rick Warren
“It’s crucial that we keep a firm grip on what we’ve heard so that we don’t drift off.”
As you grow to spiritual maturity, you’ll have to cooperate with God in the process. One way to do that is to believe God is working in your life, even when you don’t feel it.
Spiritual growth is sometimes tedious work one small step at a time. Expect gradual improvement, not giant leaps.
“Everything on earth has its own time and its own season” (Ecclesiastes 3:1 CEV). Your spiritual life has seasons too. Sometimes you will have a short, intense burst of growth (spring) followed by a period of stabilizing and testing (fall and winter).
