LENT

Lent starts today... Ash Wednesday.  Have you thought about what you're going to give up for Lent?  I haven't figured it out yet.  Too many things I want to give up... and yet can't live without.

And that's a shame.  Jesus is asking to spend a little bit more time with me. He wants me to give up something so I can use that time to spend with him instead.  And all I'm thinking about is how much I can't live without those things... but how much more can I live without him?

What in your life is getting in the way of spending time reading the Word and praying? What in your life is getting in the way of forming a tighter relationship with your Savior?  What in the world is MORE worth it?

As we think about what we want to give up... I hope it reveals the true state of our relationship with Jesus... and the love for our Savior.

Where do you stand?  What will you give up?
