Remember

One of the most powerful things we can do is "Remember".

My pastor once shared that when we remember, we put things back together:
RE-member.
When Jesus said, "Remember me" during the passover, what did He do?
He took the bread (symbolizing His body) and broke it.
He and His disciples then ate the bread.
Thus, what was broken was "put back together" within their bodies.
They "re-membered"...

When we choose to remember the good things The LORD has done, it makes our lives worth living. We, in a sense, allow GOD to put things back into prospective - allowing our souls to see that Abba Father is arranging the puzzle pieces of our lives.

One of the things I cherish are the journals I've been given from dear friends and family. (I love journals!) While reading a journal entry about my beloved (Tobin), I remembered how blessed I am to have him as my best friend. Every day since the first day of our courtship has been kissed of Heaven. Tobin and I have been through so much... trials and triumphs; hard times and heavenly ones. All in all, when I choose to remember what The LORD has done in and through our relationship, something happens within me...
It's unfathomably wonderful.
My love is made more full... when I CHOOSE to remember.


Love...
I have been humbled in this area...
In The LORD's Word it says, "... Love... keeps no record of wrongs"
(1 Corinthians 13:5).
Love remembers no wrongs.
Love doesn't "put together" the wrongs that someone has done.

Again... what is Love?
"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails"
(1 Corinthians 13:4-8).

Now... as we are all "pressing towards the goal" and waiting on our Beloved Savior, Jesus Christ, let's remember Him... let's remember that He is our GOD.

Remember...

Remember...
