Lent

We are into the Lent season and as Christians we have mixed feelings about Lent. Let me say that my feelings are both positive and negative. Let me explain why.

If we give up something for lent because we wish to be loved of God then that is wrong. That is the same reason why some people obey the Ten Commandments or try to follow the sermon on the Mount.

If on the other hand we know we are loved then we can make sacrifices to remind us of God's great love for us. We do because we are loved not to be loved.
