“But he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.’ Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.”

2 Corinthians 2:9
English Standard Version

This Lent journey has helped me realize how much more important Christ is compared to the worldly “idols” in my life.

With only a couple of days left in Lent, I hope to continue my dedication to pray every day.

If I had not taken part in Lent, I would have missed out on a valuable opportunity to get closer and make a stronger relationship with God.

The vulnerability that innately resides within myself can be the very key to restore my relationship with God.

Ultimately, I am glad that I made the commitments that I made, even though they were not easy for me to stick to all the time. It was eye-opening to cut out the things in my life that I was prioritizing over God, and see how these distractions were preventing me from experiencing the joy of His love.

And ultimately, I think that is what Lent is about: acknowledging our own weakness to trust in God.

I have learned that compared to Jesus, I am very weak. When difficult situations arise, I try to act strong and cover my weakness with my confidence. But now, I want to think about Jesus and how much He went through to protect our useless and weak selves and how He still loves us.

I have come to really appreciate all the things God has done for us. We do not realize how much He has actually done unless we take some time to look around and see all of his work.
