In the life of faith, we often puzzled by the phenomenon that is sometimes bizarre but real. For example, we look at the Christians who so diligently to church, diligently following the spiritual deepening spiritual fellowship, praying diligently and reading, even the church and parish became a second home. But in socio-civic life everyday lacked the 'heart' against one another. In fact they are often labeled as people who do not have compassion for other people.
Instead, we find also those Christians who in the exercise of faith rarely go to church, never took part in environmental activities, never read the Bible and never even pray at all. But this guy was so good against one another. Like to help others who are suffering, to help those in need and also actively involved in socio-civic activities.
The question we could emerge, which is it, where appropriate. Which one should we choose, the first or the second? I will not answer what is right or what is right, but rather wants to invite colleagues to see ourselves each. What I want to lift the look of this phenomenon is the extent of my everyday life also reflects my faith life. Or the extent to which I was an adult in the spiritual. Is it spiritual maturity can be measured ?. If you can what can we use to measure spiritual maturity. Is not a question of faith is a very personal matter.
Problem of the relation between me and God. Who is to gauge whether I really believe in or mature in living the faith or not? Which can measure the maturity is to me personally. This is true, because it's not just a matter of mere spiritual cultivation, but also a matter of embodiment, the spiritual maturity can be measured in terms of motivation, but also its realization. We believe that 'faith without works is dead'.
According to experts spiritualist, we can measure our spiritual maturity of some of these indications.
v There is a strong desire or longing hearts determined to be 'holy' than just experiencing temporary happiness in life.
v Has the virtue to always willing to give and to give than to receive and to be given or even demanding.
v Always felt honored when given the opportunity to serve than to be served.
v Always experiencing happiness in his personal life, both born like any mind.
v Always feel blessed, always feel grateful for the gift you have received, from the always feel less and want more than what is required.
v Able to accept everything with the attitude of 'what is' 'Nrima pandum ing' of the ambition to have everything and demanding others to be just like him.
v Always live in a world of love, everything is measured by love.
This is an indication that can be used to measure whether I've felt reaching 'spiritual maturity', according to the Christian faith that I believe. The above case will never happen if we feel confident that I have always tried to be on track seven this indication.
Does being a saint is really a longing of every human being. Does God wants us to be holy or ....? The answer lies in the hearts of each of us, but when we return to the invitation of Jesus himself the "Be ye perfect as the Father is perfect existence", then we would nod that perfection of life, or chastity is the ultimate goal of every person who recognizes himself as a disciple of Christ , Because in fact God calls us to be holy. The size of our spiritual perfection is 'to be like Christ' in all aspects of his life. Hopefully, this handy little afterthought.
Happy days and Sunday.
In Christ.
