Picture
We’re now more than halfway through Lent. How is it going? Does it feel a bit like rolling a huge rock uphill? As for me, I can kind of relate to this picture. I haven’t been great at following through with the things I had committed to do and not to do. I was praying about that a few days ago, telling God how disappointed I am in myself for what poor job I’ve been doing in my commitment to him. Then it was as if he said, “Are any of them things I asked you to do? Or, were they things you just thought I’d want you to do?” Hmmm. Well, they were things I know I should do, at least things I’d really like to do. But I wasn’t sure they were things I was actually told to do by God. I had prayed about it and had felt like I wanted to use this time to draw closer to God.

It wasn’t long after that moment I was dealing with a minor conflict, and the Lord told me that the most important thing was relationship. The relationship is so much more important than function or form. The plan has no motional connection, it’s easy. Relationship is hard work at times, yet it’s so sweet, and it is how God created us. I went along for the next week or so with that in the back of my mind, along with my conversation with God. Then this morning, I saw a pheasant and a few minutes later a crane flying overhead. Neither of these birds are ones I see very often, and the first time in these locations. I felt great joy and gratitude for the blessing of the moment of these two back-to-back chance encounters. I knew they were a gift from God. It seemed like his little whisper of love and letting me know he was with my on my ride to work. 

Then it hit me, this Lent season hasn’t been about discipline, it has been about realizing and living out the importance of relationship with both people and God. Of course, I know that, all of us who are Christians know that. However, it’s been soaking into my being. It has been through Lent that God is showing me what happens when the deep, deep love of Jesus truly sinks in.
