It is the Lenten Season already. A time to focus on Jesus and what He did for you and me. {really this should always be our focus}A time to realize the things that I do everyday that I shouldn't do, and the things that I don't do but should.
Every little worry, when I could be trusting Jesus.
Every envious thought, when I should be not only content, but over thankful.
Every time I am lazy, when I should be using all my talents to the fullest.
On my own there is NOTHING I can do alone to please Jesus. I can NOT earn my way into heaven. Only because of His grace and mercy have I inherit heaven.
Even though I am this sinful person, and constantly in the wrong, Jesus lived the perfect life and died for me. What a friend we have in Jesus. He promises anyone who believes in Him a happy ending in heaven. Out of thanks and love, I wish to live for Him.
Every week I am going to post a little Lenten Verse. Here is week one:
