This morning was the last service, and the service was really good and inspiring, but i was really touched by our communion. we went up row by row and took the bread and the cup, and i was standing in the last row, and as the first couple rows empties out, I see people walking up with a humble heart one by one, and coming down, and when I saw the brothers and sisters who accepted jesusthe night before go up and take communion for the first time, it was just an incredible sight, I was so touched by them. They took a step of faith to walk into God's kingdom, and to walk into this community of christ followers. It was really touching.
However, I also noticed that there are still a couple friends who were sitting and waiting for their row to come back--they cannot take the communion yet. It just break my heart seeing that they still don't know christ yet, but seeing the new believers also gave me hope that someday, the non-believers will also come to the front and praise God and take communion with their brothers and sisters.
So Lord i pray that you bless and protect the brothers and sisters who decided to follow you. Thanks for choosing them, and make yourself known to them. Please grow them according to your image, so that they may go out and represent you immediately, and influence other people. I also pray for those who still don't yet know you, may they someday put on their glasses and be able to know that you were with them all along, and they could finally see your kingdom and the hope you are offering them. May they take a step of faith to believe in you and to follow you.
Amen
