How has your season of Lent been for you so far? Are you keeping up to the commitments that you have set for yourself?

Lent is such a wonderful season of transformation. I have never appreciated the season of Lent until the recent YV retreat. This season of lent, I wanted to keep to my commitments of fasting and ado time for 2 things, 1. to forgive people whom I am struggling to forgive 2. to change to become a better person.

Praise the lord because I went for my Praying Over follow up session. I was able to forgive, this time, with the grace of God, people that have hurt me. The journey doesn't end here. It is a constant effort, every single day to stay committed to my decision to forgive them. What amazes me the most is how God works is such amazing ways. He is truly guiding every single one of us every single step of the way. After the Praying Over session, I headed to CSC to join my parents for a night of PnW. Father gave a talk on healing and he touched on the topic of what a person should do AFTER healing. Being healed is not a feeling of "highness". To truly be healed, we must be ready to do the will of the Lord and that is to live in truth. We need to strengthen our faith and deepen our relationship with him for us to be truly healed. The most important thing after we are healed is to be GRATEFUL to God.

Everyone is broken in one way or another. Someone, someway, somehow might have caused hurt in your life. Sometimes we don't want to admit it because this shows that we are weak. My prayer for everyone out there, especially to my closest friends is that God plant a seed of humility in him or her. It is through this humility that we can find strength in God's love and allow his love to shine through us.
