As I was preparing this message about The Lord’s Supper this week, the words of Jesus, “…this do in remembrance of Me” (Luke 22:19) kept going through my mind. I jotted down these thoughts. (You may want to compile your own “remember Me” list.)
- When your heart is overwhelmed with life, remember Me.
- When darkness and doubt surround you, remember Me.
- When the enemy comes in like a flood to destroy you, remember Me.
- When you are feeling weak and weary, remember Me.
- When you feel lost and needing direction, remember Me.
- When you feel lonely because everybody has abandoned you, remember Me.
- When your friends betray you and forsake you, remember Me.
- When your mother and father forsake you, remember Me.
- When you are being misunderstood and judged by others, remember Me.
- When you are tempted to feel arrogant and proud because of how My Father is using you, remember Me.
- When you are tempted to take credit for what My Spirit has done through you, remember Me.
- When you are feeling unworthy or incapable of serving Me, remember Me.
- When you body is racked with pain and you are doubting My love, remember Me.
- When you are feeling like all hope seems lost and that it is time to give up, remember Me.
