Alive: Lent DevotionalsSample
Alive: We too are shining born
I have heard a rumor –
a whisper from a distant hallelujah,
a lonely breath of light from a long-forgotten star
brushing against the remnant of our aching hearts
to tell us something beautiful, something scarcely believable:
we too are shining born, loved extravagantly
even as our soul-lights flicker
in the blast of an unkind world;
even in the midst of fading evidence still, so I hear,
a finer and more honest imagination than ours
declares us bright, worthy, and good.

About this Plan
These Lent devotionals will take you on a journey to discover the abundant life that Jesus offers. The world is full of noise and distraction – bright lights that lead us away from the depth of life, keeping us in the shallows. The kingdom of heaven – the kingdom of life and love and joy – is closer than we think. Let us grasp it with both hands.
