Spiritual Goals

November 10, 2011 by Tim Sherfy

Cross

As this year begins to draw to a close, many of us look excitedly toward the possibilities of the next. I am a goals oriented person, and this is the time of year when I begin to solidify my objectives for the next twelve months. It is also a time of reflection to review the previous year’s goals, to see what I did well and what I could have done better. Nothing is as exciting to me as a new beginning, a chance to achieve anew those things that are most important to me. If you’ve never set goals before, stick with me as we look at how they can be important to becoming the person God has created you to be.

The question was, “Does the Word stop with you or spread through you?” In other words, when you listen to a sermon, read the Bible, or gain spiritual insight from a song, a book or other means, what do you do with what you learn? Do you keep it to yourself and internalize the lesson? Or do you receive what you have learned in order to teach it to someone else? It’s great to grow closer to God and use what we learn to more closely model our lives after His, but until we are sharing our knowledge with others, we are falling short of the things He told us to do.

Necessary Endings

Rose bush

In his book, “Necessary Endings”, Henry Cloud uses the analogy of a rose bush to illustrate how we have to tend to our lives if we are to see them blossom into their full potential. He says that a rose bush produces more buds than the plant is capable of supporting, so in order to achieve maximum beauty, a gardener must cut out the dead branches, prune away the sick and care for the healthiest branches. There is great spiritual truth in this as well. In order for us to become the person God created us to be, we must prune our lives in much the same way as the gardener does the rose bush.
