Questions for Reflection
- In what ways do I perceive God’s love in my life, and how does that contrast with feelings of fear or disappointment I may have about my relationship with Him?
- Have I ever felt like I was being punished or judged by God for my decisions? How can I reframe those thoughts to align more with the message of God’s unconditional love?
- Reflect on moments in my life where I have experienced compassion instead of judgment. How did those moments transform my understanding of myself and my relationship with God?
- In what areas of my life do I struggle with feelings of inadequacy? How can I invite Christ’s love into those spaces to experience freedom from those burdens?
- How can I share the message of God’s love and compassion with others who may be living in fear of judgment, just as the healed man was instructed to do in the Scripture?
