Reflecting is such a powerful tool to use for growth. I have been
doing it more lately and love the insight I gain from the experiences I have.
Yesterday, I realized that I am not a giving person towards my husband in the
ways that he needs but in the ways that I want to do. My selfishness is getting
in the way of truly meeting my husbands need for recognition. I can’t tell you
how many times he has done something for me and my response is either a
pathetic thank you or non-existent. He gives and gives to me and my return rate
is way too minimal. Reflecting gave me a chance to really look at what I did
and how he responded to see the truth of my sin. Sin is like that. It masks
itself to the point you don’t recognize it as a sin but reflecting allows you
to put a magnifying glass over it and see it for what it really is. Take a
magnifying glass and look over your experiences today and reflect on what those
experiences show you.
Okay, and to make the point stick even more the sermon at church
on Sunday was about saying “Thank you”. Talk about God putting an exclamation
point on the insight he brought me.
2 Timothy 1:3
... I thank God for you—the
God I serve with a clear conscience, just as my ancestors did. Night and day I
constantly remember you in my prayers.
