What are your expectations for "Spirituality"? What do you knowingly, or unknowingly, expect from God? Or expectations wind up determining our realities. When we begin following Jesus we expect a new life. Ted Dekker puts it another way in the pretext to his excellent novel "A.D.30":
"Yeshua's Way is letting go of one world system to see and experience another - on that is closer than our own breath.
It is surrendering what we think we know about the Father so we can truly know him. It is the great reversal of all that we think we will give us significance and meaning in this life so we can live with more peace and power than we have yet imagined."
In other words, when we embrace a new "worldview" called #TheKingdomOfGod we reset ALL of our EXPECTATIONS across our lives. That kind of #Integration is what Jesus was talking about when he called people to practice #SecretSpirituality - it creates and calls us to a life of #Integrity and #Humility
"Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father WHO IS IN heaven.
"So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you OPENLY." - Matthew 6:1-4
