The sad thing is, that too little difference exists, in terms of emotional & relational Maturity, between God's people 'inside' the church & those 'outside', who claim to have a Relationship to Jesus Christ....
The sad reality is that too many people are fixated at a stage of spiritual immaturity, that current models of being a christian, nowadays, have not addressed.
The link between emotional health & spiritual maturity is a large, unexplored area of 'truly being a christian'.....
Do you ..........
... say "I am sorry" or sorry, on a regular basis?
... criticize others?
... fail to tolerate different points of view?
... have the 'lonely' spouse at home, while being the 'busy-body' serving in the church / community / or being constantly engaged in something else?
... interpret many a suggestion / comment as a personal attack or act of rejection ?
... struggle with feelings of bitterness & resentment, but fail to do something constructive about it ?
... the exemplary "servant" who tirelessly volunteers in several different 'ministries' , but rarely takes any personal time to take care of yourself?
... use activities & meetings with others to escape the painful reality of 'failing relationships'?
... avoid being transparent about your struggles or difficulties?
... 'know in your know-er' that something you indulge in .......is wrong ?
God has called each one of us to 'rewrite' our personal history where He has 'cautiously positioned' us......
Our decision on this challenging fact of 'being alive' , will only be of significance if I intend to 'align my story with His-Story', becoming consequently,
-The Greatest Story ever Told.....
Shalom & Maranatha..........
