The time of Lent, a 40 day period that ends on Good Friday is here again. It represents the 40 days Jesus spent in the wilderness fasting. It is a time of fasting and reflection. During this Lenten season, I am choosing to spend that time reflecting and conducting a spiritual inventory of sorts. I encourage you to do the same.
Today's reflection is on the act of surrender. It never ceases to amaze me that while I was a sinner Christ surrendered His life that I might have mine eternally!
Every time I ponder that fact, I am forced to look inward. Am I capable of such? Have I surrendered my whole life TO Christ? What parts am I still holding on to?
What are you struggling to surrender today? Like me, do you struggle with yielding your will to His and with having to surrender your comfort. Whatever our struggles, we don't have to deal with them alone. We need to take them to the cross, to the one who came and gave His life that we might live an abundant life full of joy, peace, love, strength, and hope.
Surrender and live!
