Discipleship Habit 01 Love
Discipleship Reflection Question: Do you live a life that evidences that you love God, Self and Others? (Focus on loving self.)
Read Matthew 1:18-25
• We have in this story an interesting situation, Joseph and how he relates to Mary. What do you think the challenges for Joseph were in a culture where conceiving a child out of wedlock was a great shame?
• Joseph was willing to honour Mary by trusting the message of God and protecting her from shame by marrying her despite any embarrassment or shame to himself. Can you think of a situation where you were/or should have been willing to take the blame even though you were not in the wrong?
• We are told in passages like Luke 12:11 not to defend ourselves, how do you feel about this? When is it hardest for you?
• Go through today consciously aware of not defending yourself or seeking to make yourself appear good before others. (Let you actions speak louder than your words.)
• Reflect afterwards on how the experience went.
