Lent, then, is not really about self-examination and agonizing over sin, so much as renewing our vows to live as faithful followers of the Lamb, and in the process to love him with all our heart and soul and strength and mind. Do that, and the problem of sin will take care of itself as the Holy Spirit works within us to bring it about. Lent, far from a time for moping and introspection, is a time for joy. ~ Rev. David Fischler ~ “'I, even I, am He who blots out your transgressions for My own sake; And I will not remember your sins."' ~ ISAIAH 43:25 (NKJV)
