A Different Approach to Fasting
Lenten fasts have a tendency to be oriented toward things like giving
up food or television. But there are many other creative ways we can
welcome Jesus' healing touch this Lent.
Below are some suggestions you may want to consider.
Please spare a moment to read through. This will bring you to a
closer walk with JESUS and you will experience great peace.
1. Fast from anger and hatred. Give your family an extra dose of love each day.
2. Fast from judging others. Before making any judgments, recall how
Jesus overlooks our faults.
3. Fast from discouragement. Hold on to Jesus' promise that He has a perfect plan for your life.
4. Fast from complaining. When you find yourself about to complain,
close your eyes and recall some of the little moments of joy Jesus has
given you.
5. Fast from resentment or bitterness. Work on forgiving those who may have hurt you.
6. Fast from spending too much money. Try to reduce your spending by
ten percent and give those savings to the poor.
Please forward to as many as possible and surely, you will be blessed
abundantly.
Wishing you all a wonderful Lenten Season filled with Peace, Love and
Happiness
