Reflection is my mantra.
Actively participating in sanctification.
I strive to be a learner. A constant looking back and evaluating.
Cherishing. Correcting. Gleaning.
Don't want to waste the lesson or the future.
TGC and Melissa Kruger published an amazing resource for Reflection and Refocusing: Consider your ways! This article walks us through the importance of asking good, introspection questions. Beautifully guided and valuable for a new year!
And another source of guidance in this New Year by Burke Parsons and Ligonier Ministries:
4 Christian Principles for Making New Year's Resolutions
I'm not all about resolutions, but rather intentional steps to growth.
Our ministry in Cape Town is centered around small steps that produce big results: GROW.
Let's grow this year. Making the most of our time.
Ephesians 5 reminds us,
13 But when anything is exposed by the light, it becomes visible,
14 for anything that becomes visible is light. Therefore it says, “Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.”
15 Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise,
16 making the best use of the time, because the days are evil.
17 Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.
