Self Inspection

How often do you take time to do an internal self inspection?  I’m trying to do this more and more.  I’m trying to learn myself because I hate it when I surprise myself.  Through this I’ve learned that when I’m really nervous about a situation I can make myself sick.  Very true!  If we are having a big meeting at work and I have to present information and I may not be completely prepared, I get anxiety attacks and I begin to breath hard and my body begins to go downhill. 

Through self inspection, I’ve learned that I’m not always right and that I was more than a little bit closed minded.  God has allowed people from all walks of life to grace my path and they’ve opened my eyes to many new and interesting things.  I haven’t compromised on any of my values and convictions, but I am open to learning.

Through self inspection, I’ve been able to identify some of the areas in life that I’m truly deficient in or where I have a weakness that I chose to overlook.  Now I deal with them instead of running from them.

Matthew 7:5 – “…First cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.”
