The Joy in the Passed Lenten Season

In this new season of Easter, I just want to Praise God for the Lenten season that has passed and what it has taught me.

I’ve realized that in the Lenten season, God has put trials and tribulations in my path for a reason. Yes , it makes a person better, rely of HIM and HIM alone. Yes, it makes a person realize something about him or herself and become closer to HIM.  Yes, we do tend to shout at God with fists and say “WHY?!” but we should say to him in humbleness, “What do you want me to do, Lord?” I’ve realized, We need to be humble servants and YIELD, because God’s way is the best way, whether we know His plan or not.

Additional to that, in the passed Lenten season, yes there is sorrow, but in itself is joy. The joy of hope, the joy of happiness. I’ve realized that in our routine-standardized lives it has made us numb, at some points God needs to shake us up with certain situations, so that we may be alive again. He reminds us that in sorrow, there is joy at the end. And it’s OK to be happy, He wants us to be happy. And for those people that God has placed in front of us, you know, the annoying people that drive us up the wall. God puts them there not just for us to help them, but He does that to sanctify us, to become SAINTS.

Doesn’t  that make you think?- “Wow, God is smart!”
