Lenten Reflections From Larry Crabb

I am really enjoying a series of Lenten essays from Larry Crabb. Every day I receive an email with an excerpt from his latest book, 66 Love Letters: A Conversation with God That Invites You into His Story. Each “letter” encapsulates one of the 66 books of the Bible, written from God’s perspective. I have found the letters very powerful—they remind me who God is, who I am, and why I’m here on earth.

Here is a quote from last Friday’s letter, based on 1 Samuel:

“I grieve with you over the pain that life causes you. But our priorities differ. You ask what will work to make your life better, to correct the injustice you suffer, to see to it that more things go as they should in your life. I want you to ask what holiness would look like in your situation, whatever it is; holiness that might not right the wrongs you suffer but that would let us enjoy each other.”
