When you live in Iowa, clearing your driveways after a snow is part of the winter ritual. An accumulation of snow becomes an obstacle for those going in and out of your home. It’s best to remove the snow before it builds up or gets compacted. Thus, we put in the effort to clear the pathways in front of our homes as soon as we can.
Similarly, clearing a path for the Lord is part of my Lenten ritual. There is an accumulation of obstacles in the way. This is the time to shovel my compulsions, long-held attitudes, pet sins, mistrust, anxieties, and personal desires to the edges.
Holy Spirit, may Your light shine upon me, melting anything that is still in the way. Come, Jesus, come.
