spiritual maturity

Monday March 30th, Jeremiah 31: 33 "This is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after that time," declares the LORD. "I will put my law in their minds and write it on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people. God will still be our God and we will still be God’s children, but we are older now. Everything shouldn’t have to be laid out in black and white in front of us. Now that we are older and wiser as the children of God, we have some responsibility. We are not told what to do in every situation except to operate out of the love that God has shown us. It makes for disagreements and disunity, but also opens the door to opportunity and growth. Our spiritual maturity shows in whether we use the disagreements for discussion and growth or judgment and regression. We now see the economic results of going toward the judgment and regression. Hopefully a little discussion and growth can happen as we move in the other direction.
