Consider the new realities…

How about you? How has COVID affected you? The following questions, if answered honestly, will help you paint a picture. You can decide if you like what you see, or if you need to make some changes.
1) Are you more tender toward people?
2) Have you become protective of what you have?
3) Are you more generous than usual?
4) Has uncertainty stolen your ability to risk?
5) Has fear quenched some of your hope?
6) Can you point to the good that God is doing?
7) Are you more intimate or more isolated?
8) Has your confidence increased or decreased?
9) Are you more resilient now?
Do you need a soul level refresh? Start by letting God carry what you can’t carry (Matthew 11:28 and 1 Peter 5:7). Take some time to reflect on your responses and decide if you are headed in the direction you want to go. Identify one or two areas where you would like to see improvement or change.
