Questions for Deeper Reflection
- In what areas of my life do I feel a need for transformation or change? How can I invite God’s love into those areas?
- How do I perceive God’s love in my life? Am I more focused on trying to deserve that love, or on receiving it fully?
- What are some specific “fruits” I can bear in my daily actions and relationships that reflect God’s love and transformation?
- Reflecting on the examples from John the Baptist, what does it mean for me to change the way I hold my possessions, engage in my work, or exercise my privilege?
- How can I create space in my heart and life this Advent season to truly listen to the call for transformation, and what steps can I take to live into that change?
