…start one more time
Lately I have just felt like putting some random things up here. Here is a powerful quote from a book that I am reading about the spiritual life:
Living things grow in visible creation. Acorns develop into oak trees, tadpoles into frogs, babies into adult men and women. We are so convinced that things slowly mature to a fullness of life that if we were to notice that a three-foot sapling suddenly stopped growing, we would immediately and without any need for reasoning about it conclude that something had gone wrong…Many of us do not understand to be applicable on the supernatural level what we fully grasp on the natural level. We are not alarmed about truncated spiritual development. Yet Jesus said that He came not only that we might have life but also that we might have it abundantly, and St. Paul insisted that we are to lives so intensely that we are to be filled with the utter fullness of God and nothing less.*
Interesting thought, makes me want to inspect myself for stunted spiritual growth.
