I think too many people treat Lent like a second attempt at their New Year's resolutions. I don't make those anymore as they are too hard and usually unrealistic to keep, especially if you are living and interacting with other people who may or may not share/care about my resolutions. I also don't have to beat myself up for messing up. I just live everyday, always trying to do better in areas that need it and forgiving myself when I mess up.
To answer your question, I think resurrection is living in me because fundamentally I still believe in God. I do question a lot what He is or is not doing. When I read the Bible it seems like history is repeating itself once again and God is just waiting for everyone to wake up and realize it. I just pray they do before it is too late.
Needed this reminder today. Thank you. Yes resurrection is always working in us.
