Today as we sat in church with the kids beside us, I was so overwhelmed with emotion. The music was incredible. Doug and I were both praising God, lifting our arms in worship to our living, wonderful creator and savior as our children stood next to us taking it all in with their eyes and ears.
Periodically Luke would touch my hand or tightly squeeze my fingers. It was his way of saying, "Mom, I am here." It was my way of knowing our children were learning how much their parents love Jesus.
But the blessing of the morning came just as we were to receive communion as believers. The bread was about to be passed when Luke leaned over to me and said, "Hey mom...we're supposed to ask for forgiveness of our sins now right?"
My heart melted. What a reminder...
You see...that is communion...believers coming together to remember the work of the cross. To remember that we have a living, breathing savior named Jesus! To remember that He is sitting at the right hand of our God just waiting to hear our prayers, just waiting for us to cry out to him, just waiting to forgive our sins.
You see the work didn't end at the cross...HE ROSE AGAIN...for you, for me, for Luke.
Go to the cross my friend. Go to the cross. Confess the sin. Cry out to your Lord. Tell Him what your heart desires. Tell Him how you have messed up this week. Tell Him how you love Him. Go to the cross!
And enter His goodness!!!
