Reflections for the Rescue

REMEMBER

You, my friend, are carrying precious cargo.

REFLECT

        •  Have you been living alertly, responsibly, and fully aware? If so, how do you know? If not, why do you think that is?

        •  Do you think you have been a good steward of your life thus far? Why or why not?

        •  Do you struggle with loving yourself based on the love that God has for you? Why or why not?

RESPOND

        •  Identify your biggest struggle in carrying your cargo well: (1) hearing: “I don’t know God’s perspective about me,” (2) understanding: “I don’t know or love my God-given cargo well,” (3) believing: “I don’t always act as if what I know and understand is true.”

        •  Pinpoint one thing you can do this week to participate intentionally in your life, particularly in the area where you seem to struggle most.
