If any man a seeking spiritual growth in his/her life then let him ask. For Jesus said, "seek and you shall find". In life, there are many opportunities to grow spiritually. That is, we can grow to God or we we can grow away from God. Whether we know it or not, we do this daily. Once we realize that the choices we make demonstrate to God our love for him then, we should be careful to make wise decisions.

Let me tell you a parable that Jesus spoke concerning spiritual growth. The parable in part explains how a man planted some seeds in his garden. Then as he went about his business during the day and slept at night, he knew not how his seed grew. First there was the stalk, then the stems, then later on did the flowers bloom.
This parable is exactly how man grows in his spirit. You plant your good deeds and wise choices in the earth. Then as you sleep, the results of your actions become growth in the soul. How this happens, we don't know. Much like the parable Jesus told, he said that these things happen without our knowledge. What we do know however, is that something does happen!
Another aspect to remember is that growth does not take any effort. Growth on a spiritual level is wholly unconscious. Again let us refer back to the parable of Jesus, he says that the man knew not how his seed grew. Neither did the man toil during the growth process. As explained, the man went about his daily life. Much like men do now. With the passing of time, the seed emerged into a full grown flower.
Do yo want your soul to grow and mature? If so, plant good seeds in the field of life. Do this daily and in a matter of time and in ways you cannot comprehend, your daily actions will produce and reflect the fruits of spiritual growth.
