For the nations...

I had an interesting experience in chapel today. I say interesting because frankly I am a bit lacking at the moment with a word to describe what happened.
We were sitting in our groups of three, and the speaker asked for one person to abstain from communion to represent the one third of the world that was still unreached. So I joined one third of the people present in standing on the outer ring of the gym and watched as others took communion. There were so many of us along that outer ring; and it really sank in just what the reality of this present day looks like. I was allowed to feel for a moment the emptiness of watching others enter into communion with God while I could not. I was privileged to feel the environment on the other side of the looking glass.
That is when Peter brought his own communion elements to me and gave them to me. I realized anew the love of Christ, and God revealed for a moment to me the momentous act that bringing another person into communion with Christ is. I broke then. I wept and at first did not understand why. But then God placed on my heart, "this is what I feel for the nations." Needless to say, that did not halt my emotional outpour and as we worshipped together, pouring our hearts out, I was brought into a newer and more vivid understanding. Blessed be His name.
Having spent the last three days telling people about the issues of this world, how dare I not be a part of the solution.
Friends, let us run. I will see you there on those distant shores.
