Lent is about peeling away the layers of insulation and anesthesia which keep us from the truth of God’s promises. It is a time of self-reflection, sacrificial giving and prayer as we make our way through the tangled mess of our lives. It is a time when we can trudge through the lies of our death-defying culture and remember the truth about who we really are – God’s beloved children. It is a time when we can let go of defending and self-justifying ourselves. It is a time when can reflect upon the truth that we are very broken but we are also blessed and beloved of God.
