Kyknet Lent Guide 2022Sample

We come into this human life as incomplete beings. Take a moment to think about that. A small baby cannot yet think, speak or love. In order to experience life in its fullness, that baby needs to grow and become someone they were not as an infant. It is fair to say that humans are beings in the process of becoming.

We are “HUMAN BEINGS” and not “HUMAN DOINGS”, but actually, we are “HUMAN BECOMINGS”. This process of becoming never ends. The moment we cease to become (grow), we miss what we could become and be.

As Christians, we want to become like Jesus. This proves that we want to share in His life. That is life. The church father, Irenaeus said that: “The glory of God is a human being fully alive.” This is why one of the most popular metaphors for life is a journey. We are on a journey to become more human, more ourselves and more like Him. This is how we experience true life.

Reflection

Take some time to look back on how you’ve discovered life through the different facets and dimensions that have crossed your path. Things like loving, forgiving, sacrifice, etc. Speak to Him about it and also share your desire to grow with Him.

Grace

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