My son was playing one of his video games when he accidentally spilled his glass of water. He had to act quickly to dry off his laptop before it got ruined. I heard the commotion and went to see what had happened. Fortunately, his quick actions saved his computer but not his game. Apparently, he was penalized for leaving in the middle of this competitive game. “ You don’t realize how hard I worked to get to that level. Now it’s all lost!” He said with anger and disappointment.
I’m glad God doesn’t react to our mistakes this same way. He doesn’t take away the progress we have made in our faith lives when we stumble; He keeps calling us to draw near. So, as we begin our Lenten journey again, take some time to discover what progress you have made since last year. Are you still open to hearing His voice?
Beginning this Sunday, I will be posting a series of fictional stories based on the Gospels. Using your imagination, place yourself in the scene described, and search your heart for the answers to the questions posed. Remember, no matter what mistakes we have made in the past, God calls us to His cross. You can pick up wherever you left off and continue the journey.
-Susan
