Day 3: Last Day of Lent

This Lent, I gave up two staples in my diet: bread and sugar.

Driving home one day after a gathering, I couldn’t help but be tempted by two of my favorite snacks that were sitting in my car. All alone, I gave in and indulged myself. After the fact, I was faced with the reality that…

I am weak.

I am vulnerable.

I am needy.

This is the unadorned self that I don’t like to reveal to others. But this is the self that understands its need for a Savior.

As I am confronted with self this Lent, I am also confronted with His grace in a deeper way. God knew that I would mess up, but He provided a way out of my impending death.

Where would I be without the Lamb?
