dance down the aisle

Monday October 26^th, Jeremiah 31: "For I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more." We each come before the Lord with lots of baggage. Now that we have recycling center at church we ask to bring their garbage with them to church, what they can’t recycle, we can forgive. One of the biggest obstacles in our walk with the Lord is our inability or our unwillingness to see the garbage. Sometimes that is because we don’t look deep enough. Most often it is because we look with self imposed blinders on. What we lose is the gift of the knowledge of forgiveness, we walk around with that bag of garbage slung over our shoulder saying, “what garbage?” Our life is weighted down and we don’t even know it or refuse to acknowledge it. God love us, and hates to see us suffer. So, recycling center or not, at least bring your personal garbage to church, cast that sack over the communion rail and receive, this is the body of Christ, broken for you, this is the shed for you and for all people for the forgiveness of sin, do this in remembrance of me…. Then dance down the aisle with that weight off your shoulder, at least for now.
