Before you press play, I want you to pause….and take a deep breath.
This reflection isn’t about doing more, it’s about getting still long enough to let truth settle in again.
As we come to the end of this year, I know it’s easy to replay what didn’t happen…what didn’t get finished….what you meant to do but couldn’t. But today, this Rooted Reflection is an invitation to step out of your own lens and into God’s.
As you listen, allow the Holy Spirit remind you of what God has already done—and what He’s still doing.
Ask Him, “Show me this year through Your eyes, not mine.
Show me where You were with me.
Show me the fruits of the Spirit You grew in me.
Show me the victories I overlooked.
Open my eyes to see and discern the season I’m in.
Because finishing well isn’t about perfection; it’s about partnership with the ONE who’s been holding you.
If this reflection encouraged you and shifted your perspective, take a moment to read the previous devotional letter Permission Granted.
Reflection Questions
What’s one way you saw God’s hand this year that you almost overlooked?
Which Fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23) do you feel God grew in you this year—love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, or self-control?
