Giving up - and taking up
March 2025
Dear Friends,
We sometimes think or talk about ‘giving something up for Lent’, often something quite trivial or even selfish. The better reasons for giving something up are either as part of a spiritual disciple, with the object of clearing space in our lives so that we can be more aware of God, or so that we are better able to share and to help others.
So the better question to consider may not be ‘What are you giving up for Lent?’, but rather ‘What are you taking up for Lent?’. What are you going to do?
If we want to become more aware of how God is at work in our lives, we can make time to pray, reflect or read the Bible, or we can talk with someone who can help and guide us, or we can come and join in the worship of the church.
If we want to do something to help others, there are no end of things that we could do, but even if we decide to do just one small thing, that can make some difference to the world around us. To do something, however small, is better than doing nothing.
So, what could you take up for Lent this year?
Revd John Waller
