WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU HAD A REALLY MEMORABLE LENT?
People of every age yearn for God. This desire for God is written deep within the human heart. Whether we acknowledge it or not, we all have a longing to draw near to God and be in communion with him. We might not recognize this yearning for what it truly is, however. Instead, we might seek to satisfy our longings with material things, relationships, careers all of which were never designed to truly fulfill us.
All the while, God quietly waits for us in the depths of our souls. He uses our longings to lead us to himself. Lent is the perfect time to stop and reflect on the state of our souls, to examine the way we live our lives. What habits need to change? How can we live more intentionally? How can we grow in our faith? What would transformation look like?
