**Gauging Your Spiritual Progress*

        If you are journeying toward the Lord, do you feel that you know him more each day? Do you feel that you have definitely passed the point of no return? Do you still have doubts? Do you experience freedom, peace, and joy?  Are you a more forgiving person now? Are you happy with yourself? Do you still feel lonely at times? Do you still get anxious or worry about things? Do you sleep well? Do you thank God often? Do you still hate some people? Do you do all things for the sake of Christ? Do you still complain about things? Do you find it easy to pray? Do you enjoy praying? Do you truly pray from the depth of your heart? Do you tell everything about yourself to the Lord? Do you feel his presence within you? Do you ever feel prompted by the Holy Spirit? Do you ever pray for miracles to happen? Do you think about the Lord often? Are you ready to meet him? Are you excited about him? Do you have a strong desire to bring others to him? Do you evangelize every chance you get? Are you a humble person now? Do you still enjoy worldly things? Are you ready to surrender yourself to God? Do you hesitate in letting others know that you follow Christ? Can you say that you belong to him now? Do you yearn for him? Do you long to become a saint? Do you really believe that nothing is impossible with God? Are you in love with him? Is he No.1 in your life? Do you know that you are definitely heaven bound? Do you love him with all your heart, all your mind, and with all your soul? I think I have asked enough questions for the time being and believe that you know whether yes or no is the better answer to each question. The Lord be with you!
