Not only have I failed to choose You in my life, but my pride and stubbornness have also led me to follow the devil\u2019s path, exposing You to satan\u2019s ruthless attacks. This fills me with deep regret and sorrow.<\/p>\n<p>I have not only disappointed You but also failed my loving elder brother, Jesus, who endured so much pain and humiliation for me. I have disregarded His earnest teachings and admonitions!<\/p>\n<p>I need to open my eyes and see the truth! I refuse to be deceived and manipulated by the devil any longer. I will no longer allow it to sever the intimate father-child relationship I was supposed to have with You. I am determined to follow Jesus, to let Him lead me, and to live well the precious life You have given me, not by accumulating earthly wealth, but by seeking the treasures of heaven, especially my relationship with You.<\/p>\n<p>Abba Father, once again, I say to You from my heart: I love You!<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_divider][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_2,1_2&#8243; admin_label=&#8221;Row&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/lent.fll.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/finding-hope-in-god-kingdom-day14-en.jpg&#8221; title_text=&#8221;finding-hope-in-god-kingdom-day14-en&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;\u5982\u9019\u53cd\u7701\u5167\u5bb9\u5c0d\u60a8\u6709\u5e6b\u52a9&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; animation_style=&#8221;fold&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]If you find this reflection helpful and have not registered to receive our daily email, we invite you to <a href=\"\/en\/farmer-of-hearts-registration-form\/\">sign up here<\/a>.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; header_font=&#8221;|700|||||||&#8221; header_text_color=&#8221;#ab3b07&#8243; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h1>You are invited to visit the <span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><a style=\"color: #3366ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=N5SqYO4UCX8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">YouTube channel<\/a><\/span>, where all participants are encouraged to join and share their reflections.<\/h1>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; width=&#8221;100%&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; header_font_tablet=&#8221;|800|||||||&#8221; header_font_phone=&#8221;|800|||||||&#8221; header_font_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; text_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; header_2_font_size_phone=&#8221;30px&#8221; header_2_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Title: \u6350\u6b3e\u547c\u7c72&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font=&#8221;|700|||||||&#8221; header_font=&#8221;|800|||||||&#8221; header_text_color=&#8221;#141414&#8243; header_2_font=&#8221;|800|||||||&#8221; header_2_text_align=&#8221;center&#8221; header_2_text_color=&#8221;#141414&#8243; background_color=&#8221;RGBA(255,255,255,0)&#8221; background_image=&#8221;https:\/\/lent.fll.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/banner-foh-title2025-1.jpg&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;20px||20px||false|false&#8221; animation_style=&#8221;slide&#8221; text_font_size_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; text_font_size_phone=&#8221;&#8221; text_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; header_font_tablet=&#8221;|800|||||||&#8221; header_font_phone=&#8221;|800|||||||&#8221; header_font_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; header_2_font_size_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; header_2_font_size_phone=&#8221;30px&#8221; header_2_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Fundraising Appeal<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=&#8221;Dontation&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3>Thank you for participating in this 40-day Lenten spiritual journey.
