Cannot stop thinking about the Truth of this song.

I know You’re able.
I know You can
Save through the fire with Your mighty Hand
But even if you don’t
My Hope is You Alone.
There is sorrow out there. There is so much good, too. But for those of you struggling, I acknowledge you. And my prayer is you come through this season with a Hope you’ve never known before.
This week marks the beginning of Lent. We have a need for this time of year, don’t we? Remembering, along with our brothers and sisters across the world, what had to be done to save us. We have to go through Ash Wednesday and Maundy Thursday before Resurrection Day explodes on the scene with deep joy. It may not look excitable; many of us have walked through the “even if you don’t” enough for that to no longer be our reality.
Oh, but it’s still Joy. Deep and sincere and palpable. We can know – once again – we have a God Who saves. Who beat death and humiliated darkness and finished it all.
Here’s to Lenten Season, friends. Let’s not miss our opportunity to draw near.
