Life Blood

I'm a firm believer that EVERYTHING happens for a reason.  We might not always know or understand it at the time....and we may never come to realize why....but God knows. 

Sunday we observed The Lord's Supper in our evening service.  As I sat there holding my cup of grape juice....I couldn't help but tear up from thinking about Jesus' blood that was shed for the remission of my sins.  I thought back to the several times that my nose had bled.....and as I would see my own life blood flowing from me.....it brought to mind the blood that Jesus shed...FOR ME!!! 

Matthew 26:28 (NLT)
For this is my blood, which confirms the covenant between God and his people.  It is poured out as a sacrifice to forgive the sins of many.

Hebrews 9:22b (NLT)  
For without the shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness. 
 
Thank you, precious Jesus....for the blood!!!

Wednesday Blessings to each of you!!!

In His Most Precious Love....and with mine!!!
