True spirituality manifests itself in certain dominant desires.
- First is the desire to be holy rather than happy.
- A man may be considered spiritual when he wants to see the honor of God advanced through his life.
- The spiritual man wants to carry his cross.
- Again a Christian is spiritual when he sees everything from God’s viewpoint.
- Another desire of the spiritual man is to die right rather than to live wrong.
- The desire to see others advance at his expense.
- The spiritual man habitually makes eternity-judgments instead of time judgments.
