I hope that you are being faithful to the invitation of this Lent season to pause and reflect and repent and discern what it is you feel led to give up so that you might gain more of Christ in your life. Psalm 51 is my “go to” Scripture for this season. Meditate for a few moments upon these honest words by King David:
“Have mercy on me, O God, according to your unfailing love; according to your great compassion blot out my transgressions. …. Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. Do not cast me from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me. O Lord, open my lips and my mouth will declare your praise.”
Honest words, words of confession, words of praise, words for each of us to find in our own breath and heart. It is the season of Lent. I pray you are finding your place in the sacred opportunity this season offers.
Brave Journey,
Bill
