The Cross and the power that flows from it have not changed, but fortunately or unfortunately, we have changed. The observance of the lent season and the Holy week will help us to have a fresh look at the cross. Meditate on the amazing sacrifice of Jesus and what the resurrection of Jesus can mean in the life of each of us. Experience Jesus’ Healing touch this lent season!!
Is lent all about fasting the food?
Consider these approaches:
1. Fast from Anger and hatred. (Mathew 5:21-25)
Don’t let your
anger overcome you and lose control. Rather work patiently to bring forth His plan for your life. Love, a far more
powerful emotion should drive us this lent season. Give your family an extra dose of love
each day, each second..
2. Fast from discouragement. (Jer 29:11)
Hold on to promise
that God has a perfect plan for all of us
3. Fast from Judging others.(Mathew 7:1-6)
Before you
judge, recall how Jesus overlooks our faults.
4. Fast from complaining. (Philippians
2:14)
Best way to
overcome this state is to close your eyes and think about some of the little moments of joy that Jesus has given us which was denied to many...
5. Fast from bitterness. (Mark 11:25)
Forgiveness is a
process, you may still feel anger against other person, the effects of damages may be still with us.. We
can be still in an attitude to forgive that person..Effectively you are controlling your anger,
bitterness and allowing God to deal with it.. It may take time, but its worth
in the end..
It’s never too late to start the practice, remember tomorrow
is always a dream and is never for us. Lets pray for each other as we prepare ourselves during this lent and be a helping hand
to those who needs a hand..
