Self-reflection is often necessary throughout life. An authentic assessment of who we are should be measured by who God desires us to be. Our words and actions are often a reflection of the condition of our hearts. When you are consumed with anger, you cause pain. When your heart is full of unresolved hurt and disappointments, you can become pessimistic. What we project into the world is a mirror image of the state of our heart. It is time to do a heart check. Ask God to search your heart and remove anything that does not resemble Him. Don’t live any longer with unforgiveness, anger, resentment, pride, envy, and disobedience. Truly desire to depict His likeness, for we are made in His image. It doesn’t matter how far you have strayed or what you’ve done in your life, it is never too late. We are in relationship with a forgiving God, who desires for us to be whole and free from anything that may burden our hearts and minds. Be inspired by God and let Him mold you, then fill you. Surrender your heart to Him and be renewed. ADaubon
