from Luke 18:9-14
The season of Lent is an invitation to examine one’s heart and consider the journey of Jesus’ own suffering that makes possible a life lived in the freedom of God’s grace and the wholeness in which we were created to live.
While the season of Lent is typically marked with “giving something up,” this season you are invited to consider that the journey toward, “life to the full,” that Jesus offers is more costly than simply giving up chocolate or coffee…perhaps it could mean a complete re-ordering of your priorities…and in costing you your busyness or your dignity or your treasure, what if in the process you find more than you ever dreamt possible?
