Sometimes we calculate our growth in terms of how often we read our Bibles or write in a journal. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but these practices are not the criteria for spiritual growth.
John Ortberg states,
"Commitment is not the same things as Christlikeness. In fact, where people's primary focus is on their commitment, pride is not far behind. Where the primary focus is on Christ, commitment no longer seems like such a heroic thing. It just seems sane."
Lord,
Keep reminding me that my 'spiritual life' is not a preoccupation with the victorious Christian life, but a preoccupation with you...the Victorious Christ.
