Lent Day #41

This is the final week before Easter Sunday. We started out strong with an idea of what we wanted to accomplish this Lenten Season. We can not look back. If, by chance, we have not accomplished all of our goals or intentions, it's not too late but it's also time to continue looking forward to Holy Week and beyond.

Now, we must not kick ourselves for failed efforts or goals that went awry. We must focus this week on God's love for us. He loved us so much, he gave his only son. We see God's unconditional love through Jesus' Passion, death, and resurrection.

How and how much do I show my love for God? And when I do, is it genuine? I'd like to think it is. I would not be here without Him and owe everything I have to Him!

I pray this week that even though the season of Lent is coming to a close, it will continue indefinitely. You will give me the strength to continue reading your word, carrying out the word and trying to live as close as possible to your example.

Spend some quiet time alone praying for God's graces.
