A small glimpse of God's love for his child

This year had a rough start to it with tension that had a mind of its own. So much so that I didn't care how it started, and I wasn't about to change it. But Sunday was drawing ever so close.

One part of being a part of a wonderful body of Christians at Heritage is the monthly communion we participate in, a communion with our Lord, a chance to sit at our Father's table. The start of every month forces me to look at my relationship with Christ and with others to see if I am worthy of this communion. This time, I knew it was coming, and I just didn't care. Wow, how selfish of me, and how stupid, to deprive myself of joining my Father's table, remembering the sacrifice he made for me and disregarding it all together.

The thing that amazes me more and more each day is the love God has for us, that he seeks us, he seeks me. He desires communion with us, with me. This time, God sought out me and made the tension right despite me, and did it so that I could commune with HIM!!! How amazing is our Father's love!!!

"I love you Lord, and I lift my voice, to worship you, oh my soul, rejoice. Take joy my King, in what you hear, may it be a sweet, sweet sound in your ear." Today I sing this hymn because my Father in Heaven is so amazing, I want to lift my voice, I want to express my thanks for loving someone as lowely as me.

And I had to share this as a testament of how AMAZING my God is!!! God truely desires a relationship with his children. He truely love his child, he love me!!!

After having a great conversation with you on Tuesday I just wanted to encourage you Tillie to keep sharing your journey. Regardless of the fact that we all experience different trials during our lives the revelations Christ allows us in these times are an encouragement to others. I love your expression of God's grace and forgiveness in our lives especially when we are so undeserving. Thank you for reminding of that.
