"God is also like a great artist.  He sees the possibility of greatness in every woman and man he created. He can take any person, no matter how sinful, and make a saint out of him or her. We very often cannot look past our own flaws or the sins of our past. We judge ourselves and others as unworthy because we can only see the surface. But God looks into the heart and has the power to draw out of us all the potential he created us with. "

"As with any question having to do with the meaning and purpose of our lives, Jesus has the answer. If we are to live with unshakable security and unflappable confidence then our trust and our hope must be rooted in God and in his word. God is the same yesterday, today and forever. He holds the whole world in his hands, and he guides the destiny of all people. Most importantly, he cares for each of us no matter how great or how small we may be. When we place our trust in God and live our lives by the light of his Word, we gain a sense of security that nothing and no one can take away from us. "

"The word "Lent" comes from an old English word for "springtime". During these days, the long, cold winter is coming to an end and spring with its promise of warmth and new life bursts forth. We will all go into our yards and gardens during these weeks to clear out any leaves left behind from the Fall and clean up all the damage done by winter's cold weather. In the same way, we must each enter the garden of our hearts to clear away the debris left behind by our sinful choices and clean up the damage done in our soul every time we turned away from our Heavenly Father. We are stepping out of the cold winter of sin and turning our lives over to the warmth and light of a new Spring of grace, love and mercy."

"The first thing each of us has to face when we resolve to live by the light of God's word is the reality of temptation. No matter how earnestly we may want to do God's will, the allure of sin is rooted deeply in our souls. We will always be tempted to yield to the world and its poor substitutes for the love, peace and joy that only God can offer. "

"Only a select group shared a personal friendship with Jesus. They were the ones who were not only curious about his message but willing to live out his teaching. They were the ones who were not only interested in witnessing his miracles but who understood those mighty works to be a sign that Jesus was sent by God. They were the ones who were willing to stay behind after the crowds had dispersed. They were the ones willing to follow Jesus to his death in Jerusalem. Because of their faith, Jesus chose them to be the ones who would see him in all his glory both during his earthly life and after his resurrection."
