Wrongfully, I have a tendency to measure my 'growth' by how few times I've been angry over the past week. James 1:19-20 has challenged me greatly but if I'm not walking and thinking in the power of the HS, I tend to 'work' my way to God's approval and not live in light of His total forgiveness and completed work on the cross. Gal 2:21 and Col 2:13-14.

I judge my spiritual advancement by how much of love I am able to share with others unconditionally, how much of my ego, my anger ,my greed i have been able to shed from inside myself.Thanks.

Great post Ron. I saved this in my email cache till I had time to read it all. I think we need to measure our spiritual journey not on how many times in a month we read our Bibles and pray, but how we are doing at exhibiting the fruits of the Spirit and living out Matthew 5-7.
Thank you for putting it out there so we could chew on it for awhile.
Blessings,
Dave

Thanks George. You are right. It's easy to fool others…except those maybe that have to live with us!

Great post Ron, I know I have been known to measure my Spiritual Growth by how much others say, "How Spiritual I Am." However I have realized that it is easy to mislead others when they don't walk in the way of your life, and only look through a window of it. Over the past couple of years I have come to know that my growth is not based on others perception but by what fruit is evident in my life. Thanks for the reminder.

I guess sometimes I measure how I’m doing spiritally by the good that others speak of me.
