challenging me. Too many times I do not take time to reflect characteristics like the ones laid out in this scripture. Reflection is an important way to identify where you may be lacking in an area and helps you be intentional about growing and becoming better in these areas. How should work of faith look like?

In my personal opinion, I think it would be a good idea for therapists to be required to undergo their own personal therapy before they become practitioners. Self-reflection is important in everyone’s daily life.
