Do you ever stop to reflect on who you are? Why you do what you do? Or the reason you are passionate about certain things? Many of us don’t take the time to stop and think about these things. It is often because we are so busy doing. Trying to complete our to do list or finding a way to pay the bills. We don’t stop and take stock. We don’t ask ourselves why. We just do. Maybe though today is a good day to stop. To reflect and ask yourself why. The writer of this proverb reminds us that our lives reflect what is going on in our heart. That the things we do and say are an outworking of the things we believe and our passionate about. Finding time to stop and think through why we do what we do can help us make sense of who we are. It can also allow us to work through unhelpful habits we may have developed and to consciously seek to change them. This is not just a one time issue though, it is something we should take time to do throughout our lives. So maybe this advent you should find some time each day to stop and reflect and to discover who you are and what you are seeking to do in this world.
