Reflection
The metaphor “life’s journey” is based in reality. Maturity and holiness come incrementally. We progress step by step. “Our gradual transformation is the result of choices influenced by grace and repeated over a lifetime.” We live, we experience, we choose, we fail, we succeed and gradually we become integrated. The Spirit within us urges us forward; we are always in the process of becoming.
Prayer
Fill me with your Spirit, O God.
Action
I will not surrender to discouragement but live my life moment by moment trusting in God whose love is limitless.
