Spiritually Mature Christian

These could be looked at as five indicators of a spiritually mature Christian.

Meekness. As a christian we should know our position. In our conversations, in our beliefs etc.

Gentleness. We need to be approachable.No one will want to talk to us, or be curious about what we believe in if we are very defensive to the point where we give others no room to breathe. We need to be someone that is easy to talk to, someone that will listen to others and not be too quick to speak.

Patience. This is one that i struggle with a lot in my walk with the Lord. I need to constantly remind myself to just have faith...to just really truely believe that everything is in God's hands; He is in control. Patience can be a peace that will control your attitude. Also our attitude and caracter should not be controlled by our circumstances.

Humility. I think about myself a lot(like how things will effect me, or how I and going to handle things-meaning Itry to do things without Gods help sometimes)...not purposely, but it just seems to happen. and when i actually do something right, or i achieve something, or am rewarded for something...i need to be careful in my reaction...am i being too prideful?

Discernment. need to make good judgements or decisions about what we do, say, etc. EVERYDAY ALL THE TIME. Im guilty of making decisions, or saying things without giving them much thought.


This is taken from a message that i heard a while ago...but ive really thought about things that i could maybe focus on, things that are weak areas in my maturity as a christian. Should also be thinking about how i can become a more spiritually mature...how I can be more Christ-like. I cant wait for things to just happen to me though...i have to staop waiting around and get going.





Prayer: My grandpa is still in the ICU...he just hasnt been improving. Pray for his health and more importantly his salvation. and also school is going to be alot of work with a full load of credits and being a prayer leader, its going to be a lot of responsibility. Pray that im a good influence to the girls in my prayer group, and that they would be open with me, also that i will balance my time in a good way.

quick thought

Another night at work for me, its almost 5am and I kinda bored so i figured i would post something short.

Ive really been thinking lately how selfish i can be. I know im not an entirely obviously selfish person, but i mean with the little things in life like putting others first, with the time i have to myself everyday and how i use it, in how i act at work or towards work...etc. something i definitely need to work on and would encourage others to work on too. i know one of my biggest struggles is whether or not im really spending enough time just with God each day. and there are definitely times where i dont think about others first. im sitting here laughing right now because it can easily be something like a little road rage i might get in traffic. anyway, its just a thought.

and...heres to the start of a new week! two weeks till im back in the burg, how stinkin exciting!!!

Prayer request: my grandpa, whom i posted about in an earlier post, is in the hospital again. Please pray for him in his health and his salvation.
