Lent Is Affirmation
February 29, 2024
Bible
“This is My Son, Whom I love; with Him I am well pleased.”. Matthew 3:17
Baldwin
The world tends to trap and immobilize you in the role you play; and it is not always easy—in fact, it is always extremely hard.
Blessing
One thing that we give up during Lent is the labels that are put on us, and this includes the labels that we put on ourselves. What matters the most is how God our Maker defines us, and, though imperfect, He calls us beloved. And where can this precious label be found? Within the Holy Scriptures, which reveal who and what we are. This is why we look to them within this time of fasting. They are affirmations from the One Whose opinion of us is what matters the most.
May we be blessed with God’s affirmation this Lenten season.
Here is a joyful song of affirmation.
