A very good friend of mine shared with me her spiritual journey. I found it profound.

For her first decade or so, her experience of God was around rules. Good, bad, black and white. God was like a cosmic cop!
Her next decade was about emotion. Experiencing God’s presence, the highs and lows, agony and ecstasy. God was close and personal.
Her next decade centred around the mind, growing into a deep understanding and appreciate of God. You might call it maturity?
She didn’t go chasing these steps, it just happened. She doesn’t know what her next decade will be, she’s hoping perhaps, for an integration of all three, or perhaps there’s even more out there.
Where are you on your spiritual journey? Infancy, adolescence or maturity?
