Daily Reflection: 32nd Day of Lent

Today marks the home stretch of Lent. In one week, we will begin the Triduum leading up to Easter Sunday. I can’t say that this exercise of posting daily reflections has been easy, but I think it’s the best thing I’ve ever done for Lent - I’ve certainly learned a lot more and gotten a lot more out of it than I ever have by giving something up. So, in that aspect, it has been a very positive experience. I am going to try and keep this up through the Easter season, but we’ll see how it goes.

It’s another song day. Today’s song is Bebo Norman’s “Nothing without You”.

Take these hands and lift them up
For I have not the strength to praise You near enough
For I have nothing, I have nothing without You

Take my voice and pour it out
Let it sing the songs of mercy I have found
For I have nothing, I have nothing without You

All my soul needs
Is all Your love to cover me
So all the world will see
That I have nothing without You

Take my body and build it up
May it be broken as an offering of love
For I have nothing, I have nothing without You

All my soul needs
Is all Your love to cover me
So all the world will see
That I have nothing
But I love You

With all my heart
With all my soul
With all my mind
With all the strength that I can find

Take my time here on this earth
And let it glorify all that You are worth
For I am nothing,
I am nothing without You

Dear Heavenly Father,
We are truly nothing without you, but all we need is your love. Help us to glorify you with our hearts, our souls, our minds and our strength.
In the name of Jesus the Christ,
Amen

Question for reflection: Do you feel that you are nothing without God?
