This is a powerful invitation to practice the pause.
I believe that when we learn to discipline ourselves enough to pause, we not only grow in our own discernment and self-discipline but also choose to love others in the midst of the pause. I have learned that pausing allows me to recalibrate. In those moments, my prayer is, Lord, give me wisdom, insight, kindness, empathy, and courage to act in a way that brings life to the other person I am with.
Listen for the pause in your daily comings and goings and every conversation. Become aware and curious! Do you know when you are judging, assuming, accusing, or about to react harshly? This is the first step. You can practice the pause once you can name that within your being! It is a journey worth traveling! ❤️ trish
