Worth Revisiting Wednesday: Loving Lent

Thoughts to Ponder

I choose to surrender the clutter in my life, heart, spirit

so Jesus will set me free from stuff

and fill me with His Loving Presence.

May the things of this world fall away,

so I may fall in love with God.

God can only fill the empty places.

Grace does what I cannot do.

Jesus will have to do everything.

This is true humility.

Pride

entices me to work harder,

pray more,

fast religiously,

perform heroic acts of virtue.

Humility

accepts only God can save me

and other people.

It is my job simply to surrender in prayer

and give Him permission to flow through me

however and whenever He wants.

“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast.”

-Ephesians 2:8,9

connecting with Theology is a Verb
