Last week in our TF7 group we began to discuss how vague the concept of "Spiritual Growth" really is. I mean, I can see educational growth through grades and classes. I can determine growth for my running by examining distances and times. Even in the more abstract areas like relationships, we seem to have an understanding of what it means for two people to grow closer together.

I sat this morning thinking about the vague nature of "spiritual growth", and even did some googling for it. But when pressed by the idea I began to write down my own concept of what I think it means. So here is my definition, offered for your consideration.

Spiritual Growth -- "The lifelong process of integrating the things of God into the fabric of our daily lives."

I've been tweaking it for about 15 minutes now...and even as I typed it I added the words "lifelong process". I could offer explanation, etc...but I just want to leave it and offer it to you for your consideration.

What did I miss? Does this help it make sense? Did I leave something out? Is it still too abstract to be helpful? Be honest...I promise it'll be ok :). I'd like to hear from you...as I surely don't have it all figured out.
