Spiritual growth — whatever THAT is

Spiritual ‘growth’ — whatever THAT is — is not like other things that we achieve through willpower and effort. It’s something God does within us, and the best we can do is desire and pray to be in harmony with that loving activity. Just because you can’t seem to get where you want to go in your prayer life, you’re still very much in God’s arms. So don’t feel that by backing off from your search that you are in ANY way backing off from God. (What you’re really doing, I imagine, is backing INTO God’s arms without realizing it!)
