It’s been a week since Lent began. I’m just checking in to ask how it’s going. Lent is the time of year when we focus on the fact that God wants the whole of us – body, mind, heart and soul.

 

So during Lent, we focus on where we have chosen to go our own way, where have we fallen short as God’s children, and we recommit all that we are to God’s loving care.

 

C.S. Lewis once wrote:

“The Christian God doesn’t want this or that from you: He wants you – all there is of you. It’s not unreasonable that He should. He made you. He became a man to mend you. He keeps you alive from moment to moment. He gives you every minute of the time you call your own. You are, in fact, His property and He wants you. There are enemies about – His enemies and yours – who also want you. If you don’t belong to him, you’ll belong to them. The war between them and Him is too hot for neutrals. If you try to be neutral, you’ll be invaded by the enemies. You must choose your side.”

 

So keep on keeping on through Lent, my friends. And choose God’s side.

 

Yours in the journey,

Pastor Kristen
