"so must the Son of Man be lifted up" --John 3:14
"By grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast." --Ephesians 2:8
Q: What does this speak to me in the right here, right now; present day Lenten journey?
What pops out? (a song, movie, experience, etc.)
What am I left with regarding the above two quotes?
I am feeling an obstructed flow.
This is due to my reliance on outside or "earthly sources" that have, for the most part, helped enhance my ability to feel lifted by the Son of Man and connected to the natural Trinitarian flow. Not to say these are unnecessary, by no means--rather secondary!

When the Trinity; God, Son & Holy Ghost are neglected to be placed first and foremost, above all else, things tend to get messy.
Messy: obstructed natural flow and order, short circuited feelings like sparks from a downed power line.
The "power line" must be repaired to restore order for the very reasons an actual "power line" must be repaired in that condition.
Left with:
"Can I convince you to come any closer?!?"
Get directly closer to Christ and the Father; use the front door if you will, lol -- get caught up in the Holy Spirit blowing through me!!
Dark Horse by Katy Perry just popped in!
Blessed weekend thoughts, prayers and breezes...
