Father God let this touch someone’s heart today in Jesus Precious Name Amen.
Let’s praise God for the wonderful memories in our lives. The good memories can bring a joy that drowns out the bad memories. We learn from our bad memories so the good ones outways the bad. As believers, we can trust in our loving Savior who restores our brokenness and makes us new and beautiful. We have a Savior who heals and redeems. Let me encourage you to bring your wounds to Jesus Christ and allow Him to heal you and repair your scars. Be open and honest with Him. We doubt God so often. We forget that He cares so deeply about the intimate part of our lives. Good memories of how God worked through others to be His light to us. But Jesus said to him, remember what the Lord has done for you. Some of my greatest memories are the ones that involve my Christian testimony. It’s such a beautiful picture in our mind when we remember how God drew us to repentance and saved us. This memory is something that you should constantly replay in your mind.
The simplest things in this life can evoke powerful memories. Memories are one of the greatest gifts that God has ever given us. They allow us to live one moment one thousand times over. We all treasure memories because they allow us to relive delightful times in our lives. Memories become stories that we tell hundreds and thousands of times throughout our life. The beautiful thing about our memories is that, not only are they beautiful to us, but they are also beautiful to others. You ever hear?
“Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory. “Today’s moments are now,” “Sometimes small memories cover large part of our hearts!” “Some memories are unforgettable, remaining ever vivid and heartwarming! “Whenever I think of the past, it brings back so many memories.” “Memories are wonderful to make. But sometimes painful to remember.” “I thought past memories are everything to us, but now it’s about what we live in the present to write new memories.” I like taking pictures. Especially nature pictures of God’s creation. I can look back at last year’s memories. Like pictures of birds or sky and remember how I felt in that moment. How God would let me see this in the picture and take the picture. Then I see something new and take a picture of it. Whatever it is. If I don’t know what kind of bird or flower, I will look it up to get the true name.
“God gave us memory so that we might have snow or roses in December.” Lilies in April, July and September an when we see the daffodils we remember Jesus born in a manger. “Memories are timeless treasures of the heart.” “Some memories never fade.” Memories are awesome, but what’s also awesome is building new memories with your loved ones. Enjoy every moment that you have with your loved ones. Instead of being on your phone all the time, put your phone away. Cherish family and friends and make the most of your time with them. The more time you invest in someone, the richer the memories that you will have with them. Let your love grow through one another. God’s presence alone can bring us joy and the hope of living with Him forever. 1 Peter 1:6 Once again, we can rest in the hope that joy is ahead of us, even when we cannot see it.
It reads in 1 Corinthians 11:23–26-; “For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you: The Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, “This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me.” In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me.” For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.”
{Let’s Pray}
Father God I thank You and praise You that You love me so much that Your punishment is not designed to harm me, but to return me into precious fellowship with Yourself. Assist me to keep a short rein on my sin and confess this quickly to You. I thank You and praise You for the institution of the Lord’s Supper. I thank You and praise You that we are called to remember the high price that Jesus Christ paid for our sin and for our remembrance at the communion table. Let me never become complacent about the enormous price that was paid for my sin. Assis me to honor Your holy name and give You all the glory when I meet together with my brothers and sisters in Christ. I thank You for all those who You have sent in my past life to mentor and be a light to me. I believe I will continue to remember the Lord Jesus’ death for my sins and forgiving, giving grace and setting me free until He comes again. If He comes back to get me. I thank You, praise You and give You all the honor and glory in Jesus Precious Name Amen.
