Self Examination

Prodigal: I’m mighty fine and dandy today!

Me: I am glad that you are taking a look at yourself.

This is from the book Seven Seasons of the Man in the Mirror by Patrick Morley

What should we know about ourselves? The call to self-examination is not the contemporary call to discover who is at fault for the way we turned out so we will have someone to blame. Rather, it is a call to understand our human nature so we can take responsibility for our lives.

Matthew 6:19-21

Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

Jennifer Van Allen
