The Grand Author

How can you allow the Lord to be the grand author of your life? Sacrificing your plans, your dreams, your expectations and letting God write the pages of your life. This Lenten season, I am spending time reflecting on how much better my life has been since letting go of my wishes and placing my life in the hands of the Lord. I believe this sacrificial love of letting go my will for God’s will is a specific call within the Christian life. Letting go of what I believe to be “good” for me and letting God show me what is “best” for me. If I hadn’t adopted this way of living, I would have missed the deeper joy of my earthly life found in my unplanned circumstances. Allowing the Lord to be the sole author of your life is not easy, and can require long and intense seasons of stretching, remolding, and suffering. Let this Lenten season be an opportunity to explore what it means to sacrifice your plans, fast from your expectations, and give the Lord your life. Then we may be more fully free to rejoice in the Resurrection.
