Happy Couple!

I didn't know whether to post this here, or as a prayer request, but it felt appropriate for Lent... The last few days have been very difficult. I have experienced a sense of brokenness which is fitting for this time of Lent ~ but God is putting me back together in a way which reflects His image more. The breaking has to come first though, and whilst it is painful, it is necessary. I had covered up His image in me with many things, not least sin, pride and self-importance...like a beautiful sculpture covered with ugly dirty clay. He has been chipping away, and there are glimpses of the Master's work underneath...the ugly clay was my attempt! I feel that much of the ugliness has been apparent in some of my posts on this forum, but I have a much gentler, softer side than the one I have shown. My prayer is that during Lent/Easter, God will allow that to grow, through prayer and His love. How is everyone else's journey this Lent (if you would like to share it!)? Mrs.P xx
