When it comes to spiritual growth, there’s only one person who can improve and strengthen that growth - you! In today’s episode of Changing, Donald dives into five ways you can foster spirituality in yourself and help others do the same.
Define your intentions
- As a child of God, our ultimate goal is to join Him in Heaven. But what can we do now to get there?
- You must be intentional. Set small, achievable goals instead of broad goals like being a better husband, wife or sibling.
- Intentional goals (and plans to accomplish them) will put you on the path to success.
Be curious
- There are countless examples of curiosity in the Bible leading to different answers and results.
- Curiosity isn’t a bad thing. It helps you grow, improve, and develop a better understanding of the world and the history of the world around you.
Learn to listen to the spirit
- What atmosphere helps you listen to the spirit? Whether it's the peace and solitude in nature, the background noise of a coffee shop, or meditating in the comfort of your living room.
- Wherever puts you in the mood to listen to Christ and the spirit, do it more frequently?
Be anxiously engaged in worthwhile causes.
- The organization justserve.org has tons of projects across the country that allow you to help people in your community.
- Step away from your problems to focus on the issues of others and help other sons and daughters of Christ.
Associate with the right people.
- When you associate with the right friends and people, you’ll be uplifted.
- Evaluate the people around you. Are they helping you to become a better person?
- If not, seek out people who’ll help you grow in your relationship with Christ.
As we continue through 2022, implement these five principles to grow your spirituality and develop a stronger relationship with Christ. To contact Donald to discuss growing in your relationship with God, contact him at [email protected].
