Good Friday

So today is Good Friday and the end of Lent is coming. This year I didn't even give up anything for Lent because I couldn't think of anything good to give up for God. A lot of people just do Lent for church or just because they're "Christian" and they think they should participate in Lent but when I see what they're giving up, it's just what they want to give up. Lent is giving up something for 40 days to pray to God instead of doing the thing you would be doing. If you gave up using the internet for entertainment purposes, you should pray during they times you would be online. When I saw what other people gave up, I think they just gave it up for just "fun" or just because they simply had to pick something. Of course this is just my thoughts but the meaning of Lent kinda disappeared. You know? Like last year I gave up part of my sleeping time to go to morning service at my church and by the end of Lent I felt really proud that I gave up sleeping time for my Savior and to be closer to Him. So maybe next year I could influence more people to not just give up something for a thing called Lent but give it up for Jesus our Savior. After all, Good Friday is the day that He died for us so we can have eternal life, so why not give something up for Him?
