Quotes from Gary DeLashmutt

Sometimes I heed the Spirit's desire, and sometimes I don't. Spiritual maturity is not getting to the point where you no longer experience this tension. Rather, maturity is becoming more sensitive to it and choosing more consistently to trust the leadership and empowering of God's Spirit—by stepping out in the midst of fear, aversion, and inadequacy to serve.

Hebrews 12:10). This is why it is important to understand God's grace if we want to profit from admonition. God never rejects his children, and he always disciplines us in love. The better we understand this and the more we believe it, the easier it will be to interpret admonition as an act of love and profit from it instead of interpreting it as proof of rejection and reacting against it.
