Follow in the footsteps of Jesus

The first Sunday of Lent has just passed. It was a time of much needed reflection for me. Father shared about the temptations that are present in this world. Adam gave in to temptation but Jesus redeemed us.
Though he is God, He is also human. He was also subject to temptations but He did not give in to them.

As I sat in church and reflected on the days that have gone by, I realised how difficult it is to resist temptation. I find myself having a very short fuse recently. Though I tell myself to be patient and kind, these words seem to fly out the window when I am caught in a situation which tempts me to sin.

Jesus has showed us the way in the desert, I must follow in His footsteps and not that of Adam. I pray for the almighty grace of God, that I may receive healing and peace, that I may respond in love at any given situation. I know that it will be a mammoth task but with God, I will be strengthen to walk in the footsteps of Christ.
