I know I am a little behind but today I decided to open my bible as I feel I haven't been as invested as I should be. Reflection Questions: What verse did you choose this week that stood out to you the most? The verse I selected comes from James 1:26 " If anyone thinks he is religious and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his heart, this person's religion is worthless." How did applying it change your attitude or decisions? Lately I feel like I have been struggling with this aspect of my life. I find myself cussing, which is something I've always struggled with in my journey of faith. While reading over this, this verse stuck out to me the most. I know we aren't perfect and things happen, but I also do believe that we can have discipline especially when it comes to what we say and how we say it. This is an aspect of my life that I feel I have really been lacking in and is why I chose this verse. Applying this verse to my life will show me a new perspective of how I talk and view things. What did you learn about God or yourself? I learned that if I want to be serious about my faith and journey, steps like these are what I need take. Being able to be self-aware of my actions in what I do and say are very important. I need to be able to hold myself accountable and be honest with myself. It is easy for me to say that I'll stop cussing, but I haven't done anything to change it. I want to be able to carry myself in a more positive way and I think this is some of the first steps in that direction.
