Spiritual Growth
Spiritual Growth in 2024

This morning, I was expressing, to God, my desire to experience some spiritual growth; to live my life in the spirit – a life where I’m Spirit-filled and led by the Spirit more than I am by my flesh (my carnal nature). All at once, I realized that the onus was on me. It’s not God’s responsibility to make me live a spiritual life; it’s mine. Jesus has given me the liberty to walk in the spirit and the Holy Spirit lives in me, but the choice is mine to take advantage of what He’s given me.
