Just the Beginning
At the beginning of this Lenten season I’m beginning again to earnestly seek Christ – Beginning and praying to continue Not just for a season but for the rest of my life. Forgive me Lord for when I’m not faithful, When I choose sleep over pursuing you. Forgive me Lord when I’m disobedient, When I fail to do what you’ve told me to do. For forty days I’ll turn down my plate. For forty days I’ll seek your face. Forty days are just the beginning – For the rest of my days I’ll run my race. As my little poem says, today is the first day of the Lenten season. It’s a season of reflection and preparation for Easter or Resurrection Sunday. But for me, I want it to be more. I want it to be a new beginning. I want Lent to be a time of purposely pursuing God, not for blessings but to just be in His presence; to bask in the joy of His love; to know He is for me and no matter what my circumstances I’m more than a conqueror. Sometimes I forget these thing...
