Several foods are on a table, each labeled with a different characteristic of Jesus: honesty, compassion, humility, grace and love. Here is an excerpt from the directions-
When we choose to follow the path of Jesus, we begin to live how Jesus tells us is the best way to live. The Holy Spirit starts to change us from the inside out, making us into the people God meant us to be.
Look at the different characteristics of Jesus on the table before you and think about which characteristic needs the most work in your life. When you have chosen the one you need most help with, go to that area and follow the directions.
It just so happened that a lot of people needed more grace in their life (chocolate represented grace on this table).
This prayerful action has really stuck with me these past few days. Lent is a journey, a journey where we walk alongside Jesus through his most difficult days.
Jesus also walks alongside us when we are going through difficult times in life and gives us sustenance for the journey.
What do you need most in your life now? During these 40 days, reflect on your faith journey and your relationship with God. Ask God for that particular food you need to get through today and the length of your journey of faith.
