Take your spiritual pulse:
We need to ask ourselves how we’re doing on the following qualities. This is not a legalistic list of requirements, but rather, some indicators of spiritual maturity. It reveals what is captivating our hearts and shows us where we need to grow. Nobody does this perfectly, but these are things that we should strive for with the help of the Holy Spirit:
I have a daily quiet time for prayer and Bible study
I memorize and recite scripture often
I keep a prayer list and pray for those people and concerns
I share my testimony with others when there are opportunities
I pray regularly for lost people by name
I generously give of my resources to my church & ministries
I seek reconciliation and forgiveness when needed
I am trusting God and involving him in everything I do
I treat my spouse, children, and others with love and respect
I have compassion for those who are hurting and I help them
I pray regularly with my spouse and children
I use my tongue to encourage rather than criticize or cuss
I am not easily angered or offended
I honor God by my choices of entertainment
I keep in touch with the Lord throughout the day
I have a grateful heart for all the blessings I receive from God
