God Is a Spiritual Builder


Do not neglect the progression of your spirituality to maturity, for that is what God is most interested in.

October’s Awakening, Day 23:

Much confusion in the Christian life comes from ignoring the simple truth that God is far more interested in building your character than he is anything else.

 -Rick Warren

Improving your personal life will greatly depend on spiritual improvement and through Holy Scripture.

 -Clement Getate, “Your Cross to Happiness”

Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. Romans 5:3,4 NIV



            Everything in our spiritual nature filters down into our character, attributes, thoughts, and behavior. That’s why it’s imperative for God to build us up into spiritual maturity, for if our spirituality is lacking, so too, everything else in our lives. He created us as tripartite beings, body, soul, and spirit, and if any of those natures are in disarray, our entire essence will suffer. The spiritual nature can be difficult to cultivate, because it requires consistently being in His presence, praying, and studying His Word, gleaning feedback from the Holy Spirit and our constant, associated modification thereof.
