Hoping my lesson this Lent is … God does not seek perfection! He seeks a heart that seeks him. I definitely have A Seeking Heart (ha, pun intended). I may have failed to keep my Lenten promises and intentions perfectly, but my desire to do so never waned. Maybe what I have given up – or tried – is something I must continue to fast from, and the imperfect execution of Lent is illuminating how it should be fasted from always going forward. My fast does provide me much more time for the things of God especially the Grace Trifecta of prayer, sacrament, and scripture.
