Spiritual Growth

[Annette443pink]

Do you feel like you're way ahead or way behind where your spouse is spiritually? I feel that I'm pretty close to where my husband is which is a blessing. I wouldn't want him behind me for sure. Ahead would be all right. He's a good husband who wouldn't browbeat me.

We are all on a differant spiritual level with GOD .

As far as GOD'S word ....I feel that some people like to make up their own

Bible. Their own rules, saying ...oh, its o.k. to do

that ....Noah did it or , David.

When GOD says ...NO.

I feel that I am spiritually ahead ...of my spouse.

Of course he may think differantly.

LOVE and PEACE to everyone,

well, praise God, my husband got saved about 2 mths ago, so as far as knowledge is concerned, im ahead of him...but it is sad to say that i feel behind him in my relationship with God, because he has that "just got saved" joy...I wish i could be on fire every day...somtimes i feel like the only time that im on fire is when im at church. Im in the word everyday, and i pray everyday...but he's overjoyed with salvation more than me.

i agree with the commit that everyone is on a different level with our father, because of where we may be in our lifes, that dose not mean that ,i have a closer relation ship with christ.

In our marriage...I have noticed this....me and my husband have never went thru a valley..or a hard time spiritually at the same time. God has always let the other be able to lift the other up in time of need.

Dont get me wrong....we have been thru some times together that we werent for sure what God wanted us to do at a point or something like that...(and that was our fault that we didnt go into things really seeking Gods answer...I just didnt want anybody to think that we thought that God wasnt showing us what to do)....but we have both never been spritually weak at the same time.

Back to the question .....I think we are very close is our spiritual level. Sometimes Im ahead...and sometimes he is...lol We run neck and neck.

It is amazing how both grow and have similiar experiences real close together. I also agree that the other one doesn't go through something at the same time, and is there to help and vice versa. He doesn't let one get too far ahead of the other, or else alienation might take a toll. He has everything under control, just as He always has!

edit.

Toddlermom, in the blink of an eye the holy spirit can impart multitudes of knowledge that might take many years for others to obtain. God works in mysterious ways.

Whysoblind, all that glitters isn't gold. There are many trials and tribulations you are blessed at this time not to be going through. For better or worse sometimes means just that. Don't feel left out or inadequate, some may say you are blessed.

my wife and i are at two differant levels,

reason? cause we both grew up in differant environments and with two differant upbringings,

as we work together and grow closer to God we are growing stronger in the Lord together and the differances are shrinking

This is something that our marraige is struggling over. Not the only thing, but one of the things that I consider the most important. All I can do is keep praying, and loving my Lord asking Him for guidance.

I concider my wife to have a better grip on the spiritual aspects of life , probably because she was more broken than I was when we came to the Lord.

Luke 7 :40 And Jesus answering said to him, Simon, I have somewhat to say to you. And he said, Master, say on.

41 There was a certain creditor which had two debtors: the one owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty.

42 And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them both. Tell me therefore, which of them will love him most?

43 Simon answered and said, I suppose that he, to whom he forgave most. And he said to him, You have rightly judged

[peaches]

I don't have a wife, or even a g/f. I don't have anyone to gauge myself by except scripture, and that shows me that I am woefully inept and inadequate.

for this thread u mean?
