A New Year about to begin. A time for deeper reflection and prayer. For reflection allows us to look differently at our life, by looking deeper into our life, at the things we treasure and the things we lose. Does our way of living reflect the values we hold? Are we missing precious opportunities because we fear? What are our fears? Where is our trust? These are worthwhile questions to ask, questions not easily answered, and needing deep thought and reflection.
To use reflection to our best interest, we need to start with a willingness to see ourselves in a new light. It is an openness of heart and awareness of mind, and calls for us to look at life again. What does real life look like to you in your best moments, your quiet moments? What is it that you yourself actually want – deep down—and how much are you willing to give up to get it? If we only realized that most answers are there, deep down inside of you, waiting for you to be still enough to see them. It requires us to become truly "awake" to both the grace of God, and His guidance in our lives.
Through reflection, what we believe in becomes the manner in which we live.
