So as you decide what your lenten observance will be this year, remember that God doesn’t need your sacrifices. He already loves you and is deeply committed to you. But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t make sacrifices for God! Every time you give something up for Him, you are responding to the love and mercy Jesus showed when he shed his blood for you.
