3 Signs You Are Maturing in Love

Love is the clearest indicator of spiritual maturity and the way we make an invisible God visible to the world. Our relationship with God is authenticated not through mystical experiences or perfect theology, but through how we treat others. The Holy Spirit empowers us to love when we have nothing left to give, especially toward difficult people. Perfect love casts out the fear of judgment and condemnation, giving us confidence and boldness. We love because God first loved us, and we demonstrate our love for the invisible God by loving the visible people around us. The real test of faith comes in loving those who make our lives difficult, as this is where spiritual maturity truly shows.
