40 days and 40 nights…
Lent season is one of my favorite times of the year. It’s exciting to me because a lot of growth is done during this time. I am blessed to be in a wonderful position in life, but there’s always room for improvement. This year, I decided to do things a little different, as always, to make it interesting. This time I am not stating specifics as to what kind of activities are being practiced or what sacrifices I’m making, but you can rest assure that by the end of the 40 days I will come back stronger and wiser.
40 days and 40 nights…
I see it like a war. I feel it every year. We do not combat against flesh and blood, but against principalities, evil powers of the unseen world. It’s really a war in the spiritual realm, but it’s also a war here on earth against your own self and many evil powers. This is a time where Christians are getting closer to God and evil doesn’t like that, in fact it dreads this time of year and decides to fight for the souls of many. It’s a war! It’s exciting to me. This year is going to be like no other. Temptation will be there, but with the help of God, His Divine Mercy, and His Love, we are going to conquer and prevail. That’s right soldiers. I am going to step into enemy lines and charge! We’re in hell right now, keep going and with a smile for the Lord is with you.
40 days and 40 nights…
Love bears all things. This is a time of year to share with your love ones, and to love people even during turmoil. Did I mention we were at war? With all the fasting and sacrifices that we are making, don’t forget the most important ingredient, Love. Do everything with great Love. Do it for God, do it for everyone you Love, and do it for yourself.
40 days and 40 nights…
It’s a race, but not against time, it’s a race to see if you can make it to the finish line 40 days from now. Easter Sunday is a time to rejoice and be glad. It will be a day of thanksgiving.
Are you ready? Is your body and mind ready? Is your soul ready? Maybe, maybe not, but in 40 days it will be after the test.
The following son doesn’t necessarily have anything to do with lent season, but it’s called 40 Days and 40 Nights. Hopeless romantic much?
