I also took up the dicipline of 40 minutes of silent meditative prayer a day.<BR/><BR/>The fact is I only struggled with the first seven days the other 33 have been filled with disappointment and regret that I could not stick it out.<BR/><BR/>So I head to service this morning not really wanting to go, not really wanting to be confronted with what Jesus went through, not wanting to face my short comings that I could not manage 40 days of worthy spiritual practices.<BR/><BR/>But it hits me (I admit this has hit me before)... this is not about ME and my failures it's about HIM. From Luke... "And he said to them, "I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer."<BR/><BR/>How long has He waited to eat this meal with me. To begin this new thing, this new covenant initiated by the Father. He makes the first move, I can only accept the offer.<BR/><BR/>It is a Good Friday to be reminded of who does the heavy lifting when God strikes a covenant. <BR/><BR/>Ggordohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16786345879938242792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9991864.post-19489385636867396352008-03-21T19:38:00.000-04:002008-03-21T19:38:00.000-04:00Beautiful; thanks.

One of my most profound moments was when a Hindu friend asked me why we call it Good Friday if Jesus died.CarolNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11787036069773614026noreply@blogger.com
