Right where I needed to be.

This morning I was reminding of something I never should have forgot. As I sat in junior high services, I was reminded once again how much I love these kids and how I love just acting like a kid with them. Today was their Christmas party and I was excited to play fun games and worship with them. When communion time came around one of the leaders came forward and talked about the real meaning of Christmas. Not all the good food, crazy shopping or even all the time you spend with family. It is all about Jesus and how he sacrificed His safe glory in Heaven to die of me, the sinner who deserves death. She also challenged us to get on our knees and really worship God. As she asked the Jr. High kids to do this, I was just thinking in my head about how these kids won’t really understand the meaning of this action. Then God just hit me over the head with how I really needed this. He made me realize that being on my knees at His throne is right where I needed to be. In that moment I realized how much I have forgotten how God loves me and how He went through so much just for me. I was numb to Gods love, how does that happen? How could I ever forget the most important act of God’s love? Even after communion time, I just sat there on my knees praying to God, taking in the words of the song “How He Loves,” Those words were perfect for what was going on in my heart. When the leader in Jr. High challenged the kids to get on their knees and worship God, I thought they wouldn’t understand but the truth is I didn’t understand. Thanks Leslie Russell for really challenging me this morning and teaching me something I should have never forgot.
