Kyknet Lent Guide 2022Sample

What is the biggest gift you’ve ever received? Could there ever be anything bigger than the gift of life? If you weren’t alive, you wouldn’t exist and there wouldn’t be anything to receive. Your life and the fact that you exist, is a gift. James says that we were created and brought to life through His will (James 1:17 NIV).

You are because He wanted you to be. You are His idea. Not your father or your mother’s. Not an accident. They were simply the channels and means through which you came into life. There is something larger behind it all. He is. Not only did He give you life, but He keeps intact daily. Acts 17:25 clearly states that: “... he himself gives everyone life and breath and everything else.” This means that we are not simply left to our own devices. He is there for us, He cares.

Reflection

Take a moment to look at everything you have. Everything that makes your life possible. Your family, your friends, the health you enjoy, food, clothes, car... Can you see that it all comes from Him? He gave it to you. They are all gifts. Can you thank Him?

Grace

Lord, I ask for the grace to awaken to life with You.
