The Prospect of Spiritual Maturity

The Prospect of Spiritual Maturity “You are always finding fault with me. Do you think you are perfect?” It is easy to point out the faults of others. It is so clear from atop our own mountain, our own self-righteous vantage point. Practice standing and viewing yourself outside of your physical being, your own thoughts and actions. There is always much to be learned. Before we point out an error in another’s ways bring forth to the top of conversation your own. It just might keep you from being a foolish hypocrite. However, if a group of people can be forgiving, faithful, hopeful and loving enough to help each other, then we just may be spiritually mature at working together to improve ourselves without hurting each other. God waits patiently and lovingly for our souls to long for spiritual maturity. Luke 6:39-42 Jesus also told them a parable: "Can a blind person guide a blind person? Will not both fall into a pit? A disciple is not above the teacher, but everyone who is fully qualified will be like the teacher. Why do you see the speck in your neighbour's eye, but do not notice the log in your own eye? Or how can you say to your neighbour, 'Friend, let me take out the speck in your eye,' when you yourself do not see the log in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your neighbour's eye."
