Reading the daily email subscription highlighting things Jesus said with a modern day explanation to dissect Jesus’s wisdom, i just had this aha moment.
When we sacrifice what we gain is awareness.
Awareness is key.
The simple awareness – similar to hunger pangs when we haven’t eaten – reminds us of the gifts we have.
i’m grateful for the hunger for something more satisfying than temporary relief.
PS. Ultimately though, Jesus doesn’t desire sacrifice, He desires Mercy.

On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.
