Transcript

Hello my fellow Hearkeners,

Happy third day of Lent.

Today's meditation is specifically designed to empower us to break free of our self-imposed shame.

To begin,

I invite you to be still,

Which simply means to find a comfortable position in a space relatively free of distraction where you can quiet your mind.

Close your eyes if you feel safe and comfortable to do so.

Adopt an attitude of gratitude and non-judgment.

For today's meditation specifically,

It's particularly important to observe a posture of non-judgment toward oneself and embrace a heart and mindset of peace and loving-kindness.

Fasting can be hard.

Breaking free of things we want to break free from can be really hard,

Especially if they are long-standing habits.

So give yourself grace.

After all,

God does even when it's hard.

Especially when it's hard,

God is with you.

Romans 8 tells us that there is nothing that can separate you from the love of God.

There is nothing that can separate you from the love of God.

So allow yourself the space and the grace to break free from whatever shame you may be harboring toward yourself.

There is nothing that can separate you from the love of the divine.

Thank you for holding this space with me today,

My fellow hearkeners.

May grace and peace,

Light and love,

Be with you.

Beautiful Lenten meditation Sean! Thanks!

Give myself grace. God does.
I will carry that with me.

I love these lent meditations. Thank you! I wish it was easier to find each days meditation - if you could include a number in the title indicating which day of lent that would be very helpful! Otherwise it involves a lot of searching through 48 days..

So grateful to hear these words of encouragement today. 🕯️🙏🏼
