Dear friends,
We are in Lent and I am sure we all have already made special plans how you are going to spend these 40 days. It’s a time of reflection, thanksgiving, prayer, fast and repentance. Ash Wednesday gave me thought that who we are, and who we belong to as well or what will be our end.
“We are dust and to dust we shall return.” Yes, we belong to our God spiritually, but physically our body belong to the dust and to dust we are going to return. May we know that fact not just on Ash Wednesday, one day, but all the days of our life. This is a very scary truth, but we can’t change or deny this truth of life.
Soon after ashes on forehead there was a holy communion, and I was thinking that how great our God is he reminded us that how we should live in this world very thoughtfully and soon after He gave us his body and blood to give us strength to live in this world. It reminded me what Paul said in his letter to the Rome in Romans 12:2. ”Do not conform to the pattern of this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind”.
I want to urge you my dear brothers and sisters, to take some time for reflection about this truth. Our world is broken in so much pain and trouble.
We know how blessed we are that we have the Lord available 24/7 ready to listen to us. Who knows our problems and he listen to our cry too.
So, in these special days, spend some time with confidence believing in your prayer, that your prayer for the world will make some difference to your life, others lives and in your world.
We need to have faith in Jesus Christ as He is our true friend and saviour. He is the true friend who takes away all our pain and grief. As we all sing this song may we remember our true friend and the cost He paid on the cross for us all so, we all can live life in all its fullness. Amen
What a friend we have in Jesus
All our sins and griefs to bear
What a privilege to carry
Everything to God in prayer
Oh, what peace we often forfeit
Oh, what needless pain we bear
All because we do not carry
Everything to God in prayer
Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged
Take it to the Lord in prayer
Can we find a friend so faithful
Who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
