IN.SPIRED LIVING

I thought it quite befitting that Lent began with Ash Wednesday colliding with Valentine's Day this year. Is that not actually the true purpose of Lent? To grow in real intimacy with Jesus? To fall madly and deeply in love with The One who loves our souls most perfectly? A dear friend and I were praying together on the Tuesday before Ash Wednesday and one of our intentions during that rosary was to "Fall more deeply in love with Jesus this Lent." Those words struck a place deep within my heart that I have been thinking about ever since. This year, I want to do Lent differently. We all can- if we come to see Lent from the perspective of growing in true intimacy with Jesus. 

When I was a little girl, up until my father passed away from brain cancer a few years ago, I would always rest my head on his chest and hear his heartbeat. There was a special divot there where my head fit perfectly, seemingly all my life, as if it had been formed just for me, or molded by my own head over the years.

Certain spiritual books have had such an impact on the traditions of the Christian faith that they are rightfully known as classics. They have shaped the landscape and shed immense light on the workings of God in our world or how we can and should interact with Him and with each other with the end goal of heaven in mind. This achievement in penmanship is not by their own human nature, but by the unmistakable imprint of the Divine Spirit, the Holy Spirit working through them to produce these beautiful treasures.
