Our home is on a cul-de-sac off of a dead end -- the dead end of a dead end. My wife and I can sit on our deck and watch cars come into our cul-de-sac thinking it is the way out. They quickly turn right around and go back down the street.
Lent is a time of repentance. When one repents one turns around, changes direction. A dead end street is a good place to turn around.
Have you reached a point in life where you have realized that you have been going in the wrong direction? Have you reached a dead end? Do you need to turn around?
God is in the you-turn business. "I am sending you off to open the eyes of the outsiders so they can see the difference between light and dark, and choose light, see the difference between Satan and God, and choose God. I'm sending you off to present my offer of sins forgiven, and a place in the family, inviting them into the company of those who begin real living by believing in Me." (Acts 26:17-18 MSG)
Real living in Christ begins with a you-turn. It begins with repentance. And you don't need to wait until you've reached a dead end.
-- Rev. David T. Wilkinson
