Lenten Blog - Lenten Thoughts


 The following blog entry is written by Nancy Andrews:  
 
Lent is a time of thinking of Christ’s sacrifice for our sins, a gift given freely in love for us.  Each year I try to think of what I might do to show thanks to Him and to express my love for Him.  Jesus forgives all our sins, no matter how terrible.  Yet, I harbor feelings of anger and refuse to forgive, or at best grudgingly forgive.  This year of trying to discern God’s will, my goal is to try to follow Jesus by really forgiving and seeing the goodness in the people who have hurt me.  I will ask Him to help me see with his eyes and forgive from my heart.

“I, even I, am he who blots out your transgressions, for my own sake, and remembers your sins no more.”
                                                                  Isaiah 43:25
