Just a thought, Carlos..I see nothing wrong with taking communion alone if you feel compelled to..He will be present if your heart and soul are in the right place
Not to reveal too much of my walk alone and personal with Him, but there have been times when I have...

With all due respect: Be careful what you wish for.....you might just get it!


I'm done. Decision's all yours, yours. Just remember, you don't get to blame "Daddy" after that!

No one is blaming daddy dear one. Your Christ ironically sounds like your anti-christ. Those of us who have actually been to the other side know what awaits us. It's not heaven, it's not hell, although it is blissful. That is why I have no fear in your made up hell, it's your hell, it's your fear. That is all.

Good day.

Last night I was eating a piece of bread and in the middle of getting ready to take another bite...I was overwhelmed with the realization that Jesus's Body had been broken for me. That bread became for that moment in time a representation of Jesus's Body.

I broke down and wept and stood there looking at that bread like I had never seen bread before. I tenderly held that bread and treated it as gingerly as I would have done had it been a loved one that was wounded. I hesitated to even take another bite as it came to represent Jesus's Body such that I did by my bite want to cause more brokenness.

I know it may sound silly but I was just overwhelmed at the thought of Jesus's Body being broken for me and of that bread representing His Body.

But I ate another piece in remembrance of Him and with a thankful heart eventually finished my eating.

So yes...for sure Miss Blue. Sometimes the Lord can work wonders through the act of breaking bread in remembrance of Him. Though normally I believe His greatest desire is that we as Christians share the breaking of such bread as a remembrance of Him together.

Carlos

Daddy says, come to Me my children, it does'nt matter what you have done, come with a broken heart and confess your sins to Me. I will welcome you with open arms. Please come. Love your Daddy.
