Lent is a time to empty ourselves—literally. We fast so that we may feel closer to Jesus, and we give up life’s luxuries so that we can focus on what is truly important: the sacrifices Jesus made to create a path for us towards salvation.
The things we give up during this season create space to let Jesus into our hearts and lives. Through prayer and repentance, we make ourselves His humble servants, allowing room for His grace and mercy in our lives that we can also pass on to others.
Whatever sacrifices you make for lent, remember to keep Jesus at the center of celebrating what truly matters in your life. It is because of His unconditional love that we may have the things we cherish in this world. Keep it all in perspective—not just during Lent, but the whole year through.
