Be honest with yourself. How good are you at being self aware? Most of us are good at giving our selves lots of grace, but flunk at giving very much grace to others. We judge ourselves by our intentions, and other by their actions. How about we change that. Look deeply into your situation right now. How can you begin to get out of the frustration, discouragement, or disappointments you might be facing right now? Could a little more time in the Word of God help? Probably. Could a little more time in fellowship with other believers help? Probably. Could spending time talking to God, instead of whining to your friends help? Probably. How about sharing your heart with your small group? Can that help you get a better perspective and maybe even help pull you out of the slump that you might be in? Probably! So take a good look, and decide. What can I do right now to let the energizing power of the Holy Spirit sweep away some of the junk that I have let build up in my life? If you start by asking that question, you are starting at a great spot. God’s got a great future ahead of you.
