Thank you Alicia for your thoughtful and helpful words. I am an Analytical type person who tends to rush past emotions. So sometimes I think that because I don’t feel gushy about God, and because I feel uncomfortable at times with emotional corporate worship, I must be simply performing a function rather than living my faith. However, I love my family in a similar way – doing things for them in preference to just being with them; being “Martha” more than “Mary”. I think your son Jonathan is a wise and discerning young man.

Thank you also for your book, ‘FOURTY DAYS OF DECREASE.’ I belong to a non-sacramental church which doesn’t practise fasting or lent in an obvious way, although it does have a period of self-denial during the Lenten period in which we raise money for missionary service. Your book, which I found through the Australian Vision Radio App on my phone, has been a useful resource in deepening my understanding of Lent and its purpose in our journey of faith. I plan to walk through this book again during Lent 2017 and look forward to an even deeper encounter with Jesus.

May God continue to use you and bless you for His good purpose.

Thank you, Alicia, for this message today! God is with us, whether we feel like He is or not.

Thank you for 40 Days of Decrease during Lent! I learned about it from the Hope Unlimited Church website in Australia. I live in the USA, but consider myself an online member of Hope UC because I love the Pastors Darlene and Mark Zschech and have the highest respect for them and all their church does. I love your writings! They stir my soul. Thank you and may our Lord Jesus bless you!

Rejoicing with you re your good health report!!
After reading your “Decrease” devotional during the Lenten season, Easter morning was breath taking for me as I felt as if time stopped and I experienced a glimpse of eternity.

I really needed to hear Alicia’s words this morning as I start my day—reminding me that God is profoundly for me.
Praise God!
