40 days - The amount of time that the Israelites spent wandering in the dessert because they were stubborn. 40 days - The amount of time Jesus spent in the wilderness being tempted by the devil (and totally over-coming, I might add). 40 days- The longest a person can go with out food before bodily functions start shutting down. 40 days - The amount of days I am going to attempt to blog my Lenten reflections (we'll see how this goes).
Today for Radical Acts of Justice we are challenged to consider what you want to learn from God in this season asking ourselves the questions, "In what ways do you want your heart to break for the things that break the heart of God?" Then spending 10 minutes thinking and praying through the possibilities and writing down at least 2 main goals.
My goals for lent are:
1. I want God to break my heart for what breaks His and show me practical ways to respond.
2. I want God to teach me more about the issue of Human Trafficking and poverty in our society.
God, break my heart for what breaks yours. Show me I can love the way that you love. Help me to see people not with my eyes, but yours. Help me not to turn a deaf ear to the cries of your people. Help me not to just have head knowledge but to take practical steps to serve. Jesus, make me more like you.
Amen...
