p. 75 "I love you; therefore, I mold myself around your weaknesses so that you grow strong enough for the things God has called and gifted you to do." LOVE THIS!
Communion Reminds You of God's Patience:
When I take the Communion elements, I announce to myself, to those around me, and to my Lord that I am a mess. I also announce that I didn't get over being a mess simply because Jesus rescued me.. I won't ever get over my need for his death and resurrection. I won't get past it. I won't outgrow it. That's why we repeat Communion so frequently.
Sharing in Communion is one of the most authentic, honest activities you can participate in. When you remember Christ's death, you remember and re-proclaim your own weaknesses, failures, and moral inadequacies. You proclaim that you just cannot do it on your own. That you don't need a jump start for a dead battery-you need an entirely new engine block. The days I'm surprised at how big a mess I am are the days I've forgotten the faith I say I believe. SO GOOD!!!!
p.80 Impatience blossoms when someTHING becomes more important than someONE.
