Fasting

I wonder if anyone looks forward to Lent or if it's a time of trepidation. Sometimes we discover people fast out of ritual habit. But is the fasting done with the pure intention of cleansing what keeps us away from God. No matter where we are in life there is something we don't often see when we are about to begin a season of preparation. Do we look inside ourselves to see the area that needs mending. What is it we do too much of? That fasting from would reap greater peace of mind and heart. When reflecting upon areas of our daily life, the things we do but fail to notice out of habit would be something we could begin with. Lent is a time of cleansing, like spring cleaning a home is. Our body and soul are the home we are readying and cleaning. The cleaner it is the better welcome our Lord will have. Something to think about. Maybe it's all been said and done before, it never hurts to find greater depth in how we fast for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
