As I think about the right time for growth from a spiritual standpoint, I can’t help but look at God as growth. Though it may not seem like it to us, his timing is intentional. Every experience that you encounter or endure is an opportunity for growth. Some time ago I came across a quote that read, “God will not protect you from what He can perfect you through.” So, as we ask the question, “are you ready for growth,” I’d offer that when it comes to faith, spirituality, and God, readiness is a state of mind. Readiness is being accepting of what God has in store for you, and being accepting of what you’re going through.
