Dear Friends in Christ -
Sometimes, as I'm preparing my sermons, God calls me to preach something challenging. Having grown up on "fire and brimstone" kinds of sermons, the pendulum has swung back for me in my spiritual life, and I'm focused more on "peace, love and understanding"-type communications from God. But God so wants us not to miss out on what He has for us, that He gets fiesty sometimes.
Just as I was longing for confirmation that I was headed in the right direction, I read my on-line Lenten meditation for the day, and it said, "If you are not as close to God as you used to be, who moved?"
Yeah. OK. Not pulling any punches there, huh?!
As our heavenly Father, the loving parent of our soul, God is working like anything to get us where we need to be . . . In this Lenten season, may God's firm hand and chastening words set us on the straight and narrow path to all good things, in heaven and on earth!
Faithfully,
Janet+
