Ministry Reflection Seven
How does a Christian leader grow spiritually? It is all about about spiritual discipline. First you have to hire a spiritual mentor. Then you have to find a monastery in an exotic location. You need to purchase all the books by all the great spiritual authors.
Or you could be thankful. I have found more than anything, just thanking God for the good things that happen makes a huge difference. Do not get me wrong, this is a spiritual discipline. Try being thankful all day long. Find a parking spot? Thanks God. Your kids tell you that they love you? Thanks God. New people attending the church? Thanks God. All day long, be thankful. Give it a try!
If you haven’t already, you should read “One Thousand Gifts” by fellow Canuk, Ann Voskamp at aholyexperience.com. Brilliant writing, solid Truth and practical. Love it!
