The maturity of our inner life isn’t a checklist kind of thing. We don’t wake up one day a completely humble or patient, or loving person. We always will need to nurture our character just as we need to maintain our physical health. I sometimes get frustrated because I think that at my age I should be further down the road where a mature inner life is concerned. It seems that spiritual maturity, at least for us, is more like housework than finishing a painting.
