Give It Up!
Down the Path to the Well--a thought to remember along the way
You want me to give up?? NO! Hang in there, whatever you are going through. God is going through it with you....Give it up?? YES! One inserted word and we've got today's devo...read on!Today marks the beginning of the Lenten season--a time when many people, Catholic and Protestant, "give up" something they enjoy to show their devotion for Christ, to remember His death on the Cross. It might be chocolate or pasta, pizza or peppermint ice cream, a favorite TV show, or just some fluffy popcorn to go with it--but it's supposed to be something you love! That's all well and good--but...
Let's dig a little deeper in the denial...down where it REALLY hurts. Let's give up our angry thoughts, our prideful actions, our petty causes; our controlling ways, our bitter hearts, our biting tongue, our selfish deeds. The list could go on and on! Let's surrender the "stuff" that God REALLY wants us to release...and then, during this pre-Easter season, we can allow HIM to give us the treasures of HIS kingdom--it's called the Fruit of the Spirit...and it's not fake...it's the REAL thing!Plan to give up what you will for Lent...but plan a little further to give up what you WON'T...that "stuff" you're holding onto--you'll be glad you did! Now believe it--let it go--and have a great Ash Wednesday, wherever on Planet Earth you live!
Delight in a Word from the Well--a refreshing in the Water of His Word
"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, self-control; against such there is no law and they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-26)."
Draw from the Well--a prayer for renewing strength for this day "Lord, I long for the Fruit of the Spirit to be displayed in my life; help me to surrender the things that harm my soul so I may receive from Your Hand the graces You offer; remind me of the sacrifice You made for me--may I freely give my all to You, In Jesus' Name, Amen."
