Reflections on My Shallowness

I wait to have something worth reading and find so many of my thoughts are too trivial to waste anybodies time on. Things I am realizing about myself is that I am often shallow and self absorbed. I want to learn to become more of a listener with my heart. It is not so hard to discipline the body to listen but disciplining your inner man to really hear and feel what is inside someone elses heart is a whole other animal. I wonder if anyone else has these realizations about themselves.

I am still moved by the wonder of a childs curiosity. Children are such a wonder to behold. They awake the part of us we allow to be put to sleep by the cares of life. They are a chance to renew our outlook with new eyes.

My faith in God has been and remains the reason I am a stable, productive member of society. I am constantly aware of this. What good I do is because of His presence. Sometimes I am ineffective in communicating this. This makes me sad because I want others to know the hope I feel. I want to be an instrument of His Grace.
