Feed the people..........

"taste and see that the Lord is good............."

 for He is the goodness of everything.............

Maria Skobtsova, a twentieth-century nun remembered in Russia as "Mother Maria," said:  At the Last Judgement I shall not be asked whether I was successful in my ascetic exercises, nor how many bows and prostrations I made.....Instead I shall be asked if I fed the hungry, clothed the naked, visited the sick and the prisoners?"

If time is truly short, how much different would you live your life? Am I being true to who I am in Christ? Am I living my life giving? Am I surrendering?

 Or am I just content.......content to live in my safe little space.......with  my busy little life?

What is it that God is requiring of our very soul?

SELF-SURRENDER.........

Am I simply claiming to be something I am not?

I claim I am a Christ follower..........but have I surrendered my heart?

If I have surrendered my heart, am I laying down self?

When Christ comes back what will He find in my heart?

Will he find me.......me who takes care of her own?

I am a wondering Israelite........who can see that there is a God......and I still forget...

hoarding and storing away for my own....is the empty....the emptiness of my soul.....

It takes the every out of everyday to come hungry to vision that cross to picture the blood that dripped from His body the one true and final sacrifice........

Help us Lord to remember that possessions, power and fame are not ours but Grace is for all.....

to remember what Easter is truly all about during this lent season....the laying down of self.....surrendering to the one who gave His all.......
wanting so badly to self-deny

All of Grace..
