Questions for Reflection
- What are the stories from my past that have shaped my perceptions of others, and how might I need to re-examine them to align more closely with values of love and compassion?
- In moments of discomfort or tension regarding others, how can I remind myself to listen for God’s story rather than my own preconceived narratives?
- What specific groups or individuals do I find myself holding biases against, and how can I intentionally seek out their stories to foster understanding and empathy?
- How do the stories I tell myself about my own identity and worth influence my actions and interactions with others?
- In what ways can I actively choose new stories that promote healing, connection, and love in my daily life?
