John 15
Jesus says, '...if you abide in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me, you can do nothing..
During Lent, perhaps we might enter a place where we rediscover our sense of belonging to our Creator, to each other, irrespective of colour, culture, or creed. This Lent we should strive to name and own our ambitions, including the temptations that stand in the way of us achieving God's plan for us.
Pray
Loving God, challenge me when I talk of anyone as less than myself, and help me speak up when others speak in ways that diminish or disparage people who differ from them. Grant me patience to listen to you to discern your plan for me. Let me abide in you and let me bear fruit for you.
