SPIRITUAL MATURITY II

Well, it's come to this. I'm now quibbling with my own blog...specifically, "Spiritual maturity is doing the next right thing, doing it with our whole heart, doing it with delight." (I found that in my notes from 2002 and have no idea where it came from...because I didn't have it in quotes or attributed, I assume it's mine.)

This morning my version is: "Spiritual maturity is doing the next thing, doing it with our whole heart, doing it with delight, and not having a hissy fit when it proves to be the not right thing."

That's where our spiritual maturity comes in. Our peace comes in knowing when (not if) we are wrong, to promptly admit it, to make our apologies and/or amends, and to keep moving forward with certain trust in our heart and our mind that God has our back even when we are apparently wrong.

We never need fret, worry, panic again...we never needed to in the first place, but that's a whole 'nother story. Not to mention that just because we don't need to now doesn't mean we won't...that's when the spiritual maturity come to save the day.

Thank you.
