Intro:
Easter is getting closer and we are in the season of preparation for Easter called Lent. Hi, this is Dorette Schaal with your dailyeword. If the celebration of Lent is unfamiliar to you, together we are discovering a few things that might make this time more meaningful. We’ve already seen that it can be a time of GIVING UP and a time of PARING BACK. It can be a time of REACHING OUT. It can be a time of RESPONSIBILITY, and REPENTANCE. It is also a time of RECONCILIATION and REFRESHING! So there are many ways this season of Lent can make your life better. Let’s take this time and be self aware, and then heighten our God awareness, so that our life can be the best it can be. We want to be able to say Yes, Lord Yes, to your will and to your way, every day of your life. This week we’ll look at reconciliation. Here is your dailyeword.

Reconciliation takes on various forms. During this season of Lent, reconciliation can happen between God and us, us and others, God and others, and even in our closest family relationships. Jesus is our peace who has broken down all the walls that divide, and the place where it starts first is between us and God. Because of what Jesus did on the cross, we can be in total union and communion with God. Eph 2:14-16 says He is our peace, who has broken down every wall. I am a big fan of all inclusive words like every, when it comes to receiving things from God. Every wall of division, means every wall of division! That means God’s plan for our relationship with Him is to have no walls. We give Him every single part of our lives. We get all of Him! What a nice exchange and a wonderful benefit from giving our heart to God completely! If you have recently come to Christ, or recently come back to Christ, make no walls your aim with your relationship with God. God’s desire is that we feel totally free and comfortable in His presence. That is a peaceful place to be in any relationship. No walls, no secrets, no complications. Let’s simply live for God, and experience the abundant life that Jesus died to give us. Let’s say yes to freedom! Let’s say yes to Jesus!
