REMEMBERING THE WAY JESUS MINISTERED

(A Communion Poem)

 

It was the Lord Himself who said, “ Do this in remembrance of Me;”

What else comes to mind, besides the way Jesus faced death bravely?

The heart remembers how the Lord Jesus Christ would fill each day;

There was always something to do, someone to help along the way.

 

There were so many with urgent needs to be met in their life;

Illnesses, demons, loneliness… besides deep personal strife.

The Lord would reach out to all and sundry with His power;

There seemed no end to work, day after day, hour after hour!

 

The heart remembers how He would begin each day in prayer;

He would arise early in the morning to seek His Father’s love and care.

The communion He had with His Father gave blessed assurance;

Unhurried time with God was to Jesus of utmost importance!

 

The heart is challenged to take time to remember Jesus the Lord;

And in remembering the heart finds renewal from our great God!

There may be days when life’s problems seem overwhelming;

We must remember God’s grace will be given to all who are seeking.
