Scripture for the Fourth Wednesday in Lent

"Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. For truly, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law until all is accomplished. Therefore whoever relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever does them and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. ~ Matthew...

Scripture for the Third Tuesday in Lent

Then Peter came up and said to him, "Lord, how often will my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? As many as seven times?" 22 Jesus said to him, "I do not say to you seven times, but seventy times seven. ~ Matthew 18:21-22

Lord, it's often hard to forgive someone who hurts me. But if I forgive and that person hurts me again, it's harder to forgive the second time. Forgiving seven times seems impossible, but You tell us to forgive seventy times seven. I need to be forgiven again and...

Scripture for the Third Monday in Lent

And he said, "Truly, I say to you, no prophet is acceptable in his hometown. But in truth, I tell you, there were many widows in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the heavens were shut up three years and six months, and a great famine came over all the land, and Elijah was sent to none of them but only to Zarephath, in the land of Sidon, to a woman who was a widow. And there were many lepers in Israel in the time of the prophet Elisha, and none of them was cleansed, but only Naaman the...

Scripture for the Third Sunday in Lent

And he told this parable: "A man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit on it and found none. And he said to the vinedresser, 'Look, for three years now I have come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and I find none. Cut it down. Why should it use up the ground?' And he answered him, 'Sir, let it alone this year also, until I dig around it and put on manure. Then if it should bear fruit next year, well and good; but if not, you can cut it down.'" ~ Luke 13:6-9 (ESV)

Scripture for the Third Saturday in Lent

And the son said to him, 'Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.' But the father said to his servants, 'Bring quickly the best robe, and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet. And bring the fattened calf and kill it, and let us eat and celebrate. For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found.' And they began to celebrate. ~ Luke 15:21-34 (ESV)

Heavenly Father, I am not worthy to...

What I Learned from a Colorful Character: Eliminate This Word

Today I'm combining my response to the Blog Challenge for Words Matter Week with my entry in the What I Learned from Colorful Characters groupwrite project.

Scripture for the Third Thursday in Lent

"There was a rich man who was clothed in purple and fine linen and who feasted sumptuously every day. And at his gate was laid a poor man named Lazarus, covered with sores, who desired to be fed with what fell from the rich man's table." ~ Luke 16:19-21

Heavenly Father, I am not rich, and there is no poor man lying at my gate begging for food. But I have all I need, and many others don't. Lead me in Your ways to feed the hungry and help those in need. In the name of Jesus Christ, who lives...
