This piece started out as just a part of Christine’s (Godspace – see link below) Lenten synchroblog but ended up going a bit further when reading Marcus’ post for this weeks RAP at HCB.
I thought that I was meditating on temptation while reflecting on Christ’s temptation in the wilderness but it turned out I was wrong. What I was looking for was grace. The grace that comes from knowing that the one who saved me truly knows the temptations that I face each day. I pray that there may be something in my words that will touch you or give you pause to reflect this Lenten season as we journey toward the cross, the tomb, the raising. I welcome your thoughts and comments, thank-you for taking the time to visit.
i searched for grace
i searched for grace but
instead i found temptation
in conversation:
he said to you:
turn stones into bread,
leap, angels will bear you up,
world’s yours, bow to me;
you said to him:
does not live by bread,
do not test the Lord your God
worship only him;
i searched for grace in
the midst of temptation
and found salvation
