I am a man of action, but I am more so a man of reaction. I spend more time planning out my reaction to something and end up remorseful or hurt that I reacted the wrong way. All this week I have been praying that I become a man who is constantly reflecting and evaluating, rather than being a man who just reacts to things.
Prayerfully I hope that I take action to change this behavior. To stop having a reaction as to why people don't support me like they may support others, or why I don't have things like other people have, or better still why my life isn't how I imagined it. Instead I want to learn to thank God for everything that he has given me and for the things that he did not allow to come into my life. I need to evaluate how I treat people and also learn how to improve upon the things that I do so people will WANT to support me or support what I do.
I think that more than anything I need to constantly reflect on my relationship with Christ and react, no respond to His continued love and grace that He shows to me and trust him in providing, blessing, and favoring me.
Thank you Jesus for Reflection and not Reaction.
