Spiritual Leader Message

by Dr. Bob Churilla

The spring season is always a time of growth. It is a time when the grass begins to grow. Farmers start to plant their crops to feed all of us. Many individuals also use it to plant beautiful flowers that make our homes and neighborhoods more beautiful. Most importantly it is a good time to focus on our own spiritual growth. Spiritual growth is something that never ends. We never graduate from learning new things and using them in our lives. Our world becomes a better place when we grow spiritually.

Some might protest and say they don’t have the time. But there are many ways to grow spiritually. It may be as simple as reading the Daily Word every morning. One can find a book that inspires them and read a page or two every day. A person can take a walk in nature and reflect on the beauty of the world. We can volunteer for an hour or two at a food bank to assist in the distribution of food to the hungry. There are many ways we can spiritually grow and make a difference.

The world needs our spiritual growth. For by doing so we help raise the consciousness of the world. By raising the consciousness of the world, we create a better life for all. We contribute to love, peace and harmony in the world. Spiritual growth not only makes us a better person but lets us express our Christ nature for the benefit of all.
