Lists of personal attributes and accomplishments may be outward evidence of spiritual growth, but these do not ultimately define it. Only those attributes and accomplishments flowing from God Himself living in our heart are true signs of spiritual Growth. Outwardly they may look the same, but inwardly we are spiritually aware of the difference. Living a Christ centered life filled with peace, joy, and eternal fruit is only possible as we abide with Him in relationship. The degree we purposefully pursue this relationship, to know and be known by Him, is directly related to the quality & magnitude of fruit resulting from these pursuits. "Apart from Him you can do nothing." -- John 15:5
