These things won t guarantee change by themselves, but as they become more familiar they just might help us to change our hearts. The only way we will ever know is if we let them work. If you intend to change your hearts and not just get a stamp on your spiritual passport, come forward and receive the sign of ashes. Become ambassadors of the Lord and be renewed in spirit and mind. If, however, you do not intend to change, if you do not want the Lord to move you, then no external sign will ever substitute.
Today is the day to decide.
