As we swing into Lent, the whole concept of sacrifice comes to the forefront.
Should I give up this or that..? should I take on this or that..? Loads of ideas and good thoughts can float in, and out.
It's not an easy thing to make sacrifices, to deny ourselves things we desire / have a strong liking for etc. And yet, the discipline that comes with making a sacrifice is what builds character and inner strength.
The psalm says, 'How frail You have made us...' How true, yet sacrifice is not about strength, it's about LOVE.
So, perhaps Lent is about doing something that will move us to love more, whatever the cost.
What a challenge, to use the period of Lent to develop as a loving, caring person.
