During this lent season, I have been reading through my churches lent blog. This has been one of the best things that I have done in my life. It has helped me to grow in my relationship with the Lord greatly. Everyday I got an email that included the daily reading and further studying on the passage we were going through.
Overall, this blog has helped me understand a very small amount of Gods great love for weary sinners like us. The more I read the bible, the more I see how awful and rotten we are. But this is why our great Jesus came into this earth; to save sinners. I think it is very easy for us (including myself) to overlook the cross. Jesus gave up his life for us. Philippians 2:8 says "He humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death - even to death on a cross." Oh, how great is our Lord?!?
Something else that I have learned from this blog is how big the father is and how hard it is to comprehend and fathom the greatness of him. When I come across feelings like this, I am immediately drawn to my knees and in awe of the fathers greatness. One of my favorite songs, After All (Holy), portrays this feeling so well.
I am very thankful for a father who grows in me more and more. Jesus, thank you for this wonderful season of lent.
