Do not measure your spiritual life by what you feel, but by how you love and persevere.
Be faithful to prayer, even when it seems dry or without visible fruit.
Accept your weaknesses without justifying yourself, but also without despising yourself.
Love truthfully, even when that means setting healthy boundaries.
Observe the fruits, not the emotions: inner peace, humility, compassion, and faithfulness.
If you recognize хотя as one of these signs in your life, it is not by chance. The Holy Spirit is already working in you, silently but powerfully. His work isn’t always felt, but it always transforms. Trust, persevere, and allow God to continue working in the ordinary events of each day.
