Everyone has their own spiritual walk that will run the coarse of their life. It is a process of growth that never ends. However, there is something we need in this walk for growth to happen. Its something that no one really wants.

For any growth to happen in your life, you have to get uncomfortable. There is a reason that there are growth pains when you are a child. This pain that people experience on their spiritual walk is more vital than they realize. Because without it, there is no growth that can happen.

Spiritual growing pains can come in many forms. One pain is in the form of things that happen in our lives. Things happen in our lives that set us back and test our faith. There is something that happens though afterward. Growth comes from trials. They help you mature and they give you insight into life. When you look at your trials, it helps put your life in perspective in comparison with others as well and understand people better. 1 Peter 4:12-13 says, "Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trial when it comes upon you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you. But rejoice insofar as you share Christ's sufferings, that you may also rejoice and be glad when his glory is revealed."

Another form of growth comes from stepping out in faith. When you step out in faith, you get uncomfortable because you don't know what's going to happen. There is much uncertainty about what is going to happen. Scripture says that, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths" - Proverbs 3:5-6. Whenever you step out in faith and amazing things happen, it will strengthen your faith all the more and it will help you grow tremendously.

Everyone has their own spiritual walk and everyone will encounter their own trials. But these trials will help you grow in the faith and help you better understand other people and life. Trusting in God to help you will allow you to see how good he really is. These trials, along with the act of stepping out in faith, will help you grow in your walk for the rest of your life.
