several weeks now we’ve journeyed
deeper into a new “Lent”
a moment of pause seems appropriate
to survey the time we have spent
you may have been fasting from something
to separate wanting from need
examining our own dependence
vs. asking Jesus to intercede
it may be that you have added
a practice to deepen devotion
discovering new depths of Divine Love
like moving from pool to the ocean
but perhaps you may have forgotten
or thought such a practice for others
you wonder if there is still time to know
new practice or freedom from druthers
there are still three weeks left ’til Easter
each morning a fresh invitation
to invite His Spirit to soften our hearts
and offer us New liberation
will you invite new freedom from worry?
will you allow His peace to arrive?
will you attune to the depths of His Love,
released from all burden to strive?
God meets you even in this moment
As your heart considers the odds
This season can prepare your heart to be Loved
As we pause to remove all facades
