GETTING TO KNOW OURSELVES THROUGH PERSONAL INVENTORY

Step four of the Living Life Recovery 12 Steps says, “In order to help me change, I will investigate and record with God’s help – my sinful habits and attitudes.”

In order to get to know ourselves, it’s helpful to take an honest look at our own character. Taking a personal inventory allows us to identify the areas where we need to make changes and grow. By being aware of our own strengths and weaknesses, we can work towards becoming the best version of ourselves.

The process of personal inventory can be uncomfortable, but it is worth it in order to change our lives.

It is important to approach the process with an open mind and an honest heart.

Once we’ve identified the areas we need to work on, we can then create a plan to make the improvements.

Taking a personal inventory is an important step towards self-discovery and a deeper understanding of ourselves.

4. Identify Areas of Improvement: Psalm 4:4 “Search your heart and be silent.”
