Taking the time for reflection is a bit of a lost art. Most of us, unfortunately, are living unexamined lives. How well do you know yourself? Do you think about why you do the things you do? Self-reflection is a skill that can help you understand yourself better. It is a required skill for personal growth. I highlighted personal growth because nobody on this earth can “self” reflect on your behalf. Your friends and family can trigger it by asking questions but my dear, your life – your journey- your business. It is all in your hands and as they say, the ball is in your court, you choose what to do with it that’s if – you’ll do anything at all.
Being able to evaluate your strengths and weaknesses, or what you did right or wrong, can help you identify areas for growth and improvement, so you can work on them. Last week we attended the Excel Conference 2024 at House of Treasures Ministries. As I sat there listening to the Word I realised, I had not kicked the ball hard enough. Just a little wiggle. I said to myself, “Vanessa you’re not where you’re supposed to be in destiny. You are where you have shrunk to be. This is not it!” .. It shook me up! Some of us need a little shaking into reality, I’m sorry to burst your bubble but even Cinderella was never a real person, wake up from fairytales and let’s smell the coffee!
“The entrance of thy words giveth light; It giveth understanding unto the simple.”
Psalm 119:130 KJV
If the Word does not enter, we suffer in darkness and confusion. True self reflection is at the lenses of His word. Beloved l hope you know that the Word of God had every dimension of life covered! From relationships to money to education to everything you choose to name! Many of us are stuck in ditches full of mud and no hand to help us out because the hand is the Word! When the word of God enters you, you begin to have sleepless nights “Lord what is it that is in the inside of me that my generation is waiting for?Lord where is the disconnect?What things should l fix?!” .. listen, you have no business having sleepless nights over movies at the expense of destiny! Look in the mirror, Is creation not groaning for your manifestation as a son of God?
Realizing the problem can help you correct it. I have been doing a lot of thinking about my life. The problem has never been the Word, it was that the word did not enter. Now that it has, through excel conference, l realise that certain things didn’t deserve my attention, my reaction or my response, some things didn’t deserve my time, some people didn’t have to come into my life , I shouldn’t have let others leave – like l said – wholesome view, wholesome correction.
As you reflect today be honest with yourself otherwise you’ll box the air all your life, are you okay? Are you sure? Are you where you wanna be? Have you done all you said you’d do by May 2024?
Those who live and never look into the mirror will never know if there’s mud on their face.
See you on Monday.
One reply on “Mirror mirror on the wall,”
I immediately decided to self reflect after this impaccable piece of writing.
“you have no business having sleepless nights over movies at the expense of your destiny”. That statement caught my attention, I’ll never be the same again. I’m gonna say it to myself everytime I get distracted.
