During Lent, the 40 days leading up to Easter, many people give up or go without something that they feel God wants them to let go of or that is distracting them from following Jesus.
I decided to give up some stuff for lent. The temptation is to just say, "if I can just get to Easter then I am good", but is it about just getting to Easter?
We live in a world that is all about the results and getting it done and sometimes we take that approach with following Jesus: results, behaviors, destinations and the end products.
Is the end produced to say that I fasted 40 days until Easter?
No, the blessing is in the journey. Jesus wants us to know that He is the only thing that we need. He wants us to rely on Him. He wants to be with us in the journey and not just in the results. I'm learning to enjoy the journey with Jesus and not just get it done; but to learn and lean on Jesus during the journey.
