In Can You Drink the Cup?, Henri Nouwen reminds us that “…just living life is not enough. We must know what we are living.” Do you make it a practice to reflect on and evaluate your life? If so, what have you discovered? If not, why not? Are you too busy? Afraid of what you’ll discover? Fearful of what God might be asking of you? Too angry with yourself for the choices you’ve made?
If we’re too fearful to reflect on our own actions, how can we possibly begin to comprehend who God is and what God has done in our lives through Jesus Christ? I know there are some of you who are quite hard on yourselves and need to cut yourselves some slack…but for too many of us, we don’t spend time in silence reflecting on our choices and our priorities. We keep life busy and loud and distracting to keep from thinking too hard about our selves and how we relate to others and to God.
