‘Lord, if You heal me I will be truly healed; if You save me I will be truly saved…’ (Jeremiah 17:14)
As we journey through Lent and examine our relationship with the Lord, perhaps this verse from Jeremiah is one to reflect upon. All too easily, often without at first realising it, we get caught up in thinking what we can do to aid our salvation – we could become a better person, we could spend more time in devotion, we could be kinder to others, we could…….
Only when we give ourselves over to the Lord will we be made whole and saved.
