Reflections for the Rescue
REMEMBER
Discover, develop, and deploy the gifts in you.
REFLECT
• What parts of yourself have you forgotten, walked away from, dismissed, or devalued?
• Are you acting on the gifts, abilities, interests, and nature you are aware of? Why or why not?
• Why do you think we tend to avoid making time to look at our lives? Why is it important to do so?
RESPOND
• Take some time to think about—and even document—the God-given gifts inside of you.
• Ask friends or family members to tell you what they see in you. Often other people who know us can see things in us we don’t see in ourselves.
