What does it mean to be found? Can we fully understand what it means to love something before we know what life is like without it? This Lent season, may we reflect on the joy that we receive in being found and loved by the one we belong to.

God doesn’t want us to save us without us. The partnership we share with God in finding our way home, to the Father, is both meaningful and life-giving, but it doesn’t manifest without our submission to God’s will.

It is oftentimes hard to love your neighbor, especially when life interferes with grace. But, Christian love is different than worldly love, and it is only made available through Christ; so, this Lenten season, let us remember to love our neighbors, especially those weary and heavy-laden with emotional and spiritual burdens.

The spirit of Lent is not found simply in making a sacrifice or warding off temptation and counting down the forty days until that same sense of temptation or desire can once again exist within our beings. Let us not simply trudge through Lent, but rather, let us invite it to renew us as we look towards the rest of our days.

If the church is going to fruitfully interact with secular society, it needs to focus foremost on becoming the true version of the church, independent of pressures from secular society. Lent helps us do this.

Why do we, as God’s creation, get to judge others made in His likeness and image? Why do we get to decide who is worthy of our time? When we commit such sins against our neighbor, we implicitly tell God that His creation isn’t good enough for us, that we are somehow better. It is the understanding of these things that allows us to recognize and acknowledge God’s love for us.
