Thank you for this meditation! The last paragraph, especially the last sentence, speaks to me.

Thank you for a soul-searching insight into a scripture passage we often dismiss without much thought.

Thank you Heather. Just when you think you are safe. Wump! Down! It happens to all of us. We are tested, sure. Must be for that matter. Especially during Lent. In fact we self-inflict it, don’t we? Fasting, praying, sacrifices are indeed self-inflicted. With good reason. The Good Friday ultimate sacrifice says it all. I guess this is the condensed version; none of us is perfect and we all have something to atone for!

Thank you, Heather, for highlighting this part of the Word for me today and for infusing it with a personal aspect that makes it resonate in me, a sister traveler.

Thank you for a very relevant and poignant devotional this morning. Yes, I am tempted to just be content with being part of the in-group and assuming that all is well. Thank you for the challenge not to assume too much.

This is the best article I’ve seen in the Goshen Easter series, over the several years I’ve been following it.. Thanks, Heather. Also so glad to be re-acquainted with this from Paul, dilated by your comments. I had never gotten inside this section of 1 Corinthians before. Kudos!

Helping to show us “the way out.” Thanks, Heather.

I really appreciated the message you chose from scripture and the message you shared from your heart. I have undergone my own kind of lenten observance through illness and eye problems, and I have struggled with my own selfishness regarding my health. In your devotion, I recognize the battle between my stubborn self-reliance and the utter submission and reliance on God which leads to gratitude and humility. Thanks for sharing.

I remember when I was at GC and discovered and clung to verse 13. Thanks, Heather.
