Grow up! Whenever someone does or says something juvenile there is
invariably an “adult” nearby to suggest this course of action. We have
all probably been on either side of the “grow up” admonition at one time
or another in our lives, but juvenile behavior is one thing, what about
our spiritual maturity? Many who would be offended if it were suggested
they were anything less than a model of modern maturity in truth have static
spirituality. Having struck upon a “sensible” structured slate of
activity and repetitive prayer at proscribed times they are
“comfortable” and self-assured in their path, their sacred cows
well cared for. GROW UP! Our spiritual lives, and there really is no
other, demands constant fresh input to be vital, complacency and
staidness clear demonstrations of spiritual immaturity. GROW UP! We keep
our conscious contact with the Divine fresh and growing on a daily
basis by keeping an open mind and heart, ready to act and serve in
whatever manner God would have us. Ready to go to any lengths, any
extreme for our spiritual awakening, constantly moving forward,
sometimes quickly sometimes slowly but always growing, never content to
draw a line in the sand, plant our flag and say "no further." One of the
hallmarks of spiritual maturity is willingness. Years ago when I was
balking at taking some indicated action, my spiritual guide described
his level of willingness: “If God wants me to go shovel shit in Siberia
I’m willing, the only question I have is do I need to bring my own shovel.”
Willingness is the key, how willing are you? See you along the road of
happy destiny, perhaps happily strolling to Siberia, with or without a
shovel.
