Lent

We’re the best that Jesus has got, we all in whom – so we say and pray – Jesus lives. We become what we have received: the body of Christ. Then we go and be that in the world that God so loves.

We are not called to simply wallow in God’s graciousness. If you feel like you are blessed with a sense of God’s presence and joy and peace, well by all means go forth and share it with others.

Our lives as Christians can be spent berating our hearts. But the Good News is about remembering who Jesus has made you to be and who he’s making you into. It’s not your work and it can never be your work. You can’t do it to yourself.
