Ash Wednesday:

humbling reminder of who I am in relation to the great I AM.

noticing what is lent to me by the One who made me.

giving up what is too important to me to let in what is most important for me.

embracing a new practice to erase an old rut.

uncluttering my heart to discover more of God’s heart.

aying no to this by saying yes to that.

simplifying to deepen.

lessening to become more.

Oh, Jesus, let me simply be with You.
