Spiritual Growth

The greatest hindrance to our spiritual development - the whole hindrance - is that we allow our passions and desires to control us, and we do not strive to walk in the perfect way of the Saints. When we meet the least adversity, we are too quickly dejected and we turn to other people for comfort instead of to God.

Little things come daily, hourly within our reach, and they are not less calculated to set forward our growth in spiritual blessings than are the greater occasions.

Has any Mentor left their her fingerprints on your soul to exhort, inspire, admonish, encourage for spiritual development? Stick close, ladies, that's the friend you want to have. "Older women" have such a great effect (Titus 2:3-5.) I call it live and learn for our spiritual growth.
