Well today I took Communion for the first time since the 8th grade. This may not be totally true. I may have done it since then, I guess I should say the first time I was able to do it without feeling guilt. That's like 30 some years! That sure is a lot of wasted time.
I'm guessing there are probably people who take Communion and never really even give it a second thought. This is something I always took very seriously. It's what Christians do to remember that Jesus died on the cross and shed his blood so that I can be saved. Man, just writing that chokes me up. To be honest one of the reason for me not partaking before this was the fear of being struck down by lightning. I'm not kidding. It's a fear I had with a lot of things involved with God.
Luckily this was one of the things my Pastor put to rest when I talked to him. That and the fact that I never felt like I was worthy of Gods Grace. The way he put it, and it probably sounded better when he said it, was in Gods eyes you are as good as you can get right now. And I've come to learn that while reading the Bible. Even in the little I have read Jesus says that He has'nt come for the rightous but for the sinners. And that was and is me.
Our God Is Great!
