Degrees of Progress
We rarely ever go from bondage to complete freedom overnight. It happens in degrees. We are changed from glory to glory as we spend daily time alone with God, continue to read His Word, and ask Him to fill us with the inner strength of His Holy Spirit. We gradually change as we build our relationship with the Lord.
Do not be discouraged if your progress seems to be slow. Slow progress is better than no progress.
But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.
--- 2 Corinthians 3:18
My own reflection on this Thought:
* What if your spiritual progress seems slower than others? Maybe the best advice is don't compare yourself with others. Everyone has his/her own time in His Plan and let us remember it's not a competition. All we can do is just believe in Him that He will bring us from glory to glory with the guidance of the Holy Spirit. And the way He brings us to the progress might be different with our thoughts. All we can do is just: trust Him. Always. (-fon-)
