on Saturday, 25th at 5 p.m.
Lord Jesus, you are my righteousness, I am
your sin. You took on you what was mine; yet set
on me what was yours. You became what you
were not, that I might become what I was not.
Martin Luther
Let us observe these 40 days not only as self-
denial days but also as self-examination days.
As we observe Lent let us make it a point to
look inside our hearts and remove all that is
not right with God.
Our God wants total commitment. He doesnt
want you to do Lent and afterwards run off to
do your own thing. With God, its all or nothing.
If you wont give Him your all, He wont have
anything to do with you.
In Christ Love
Raja
