Loved despite our sin

For the Lord takes pleasure in His people; He will beautify the humble with salvation (Psalm 149:4).

It’s important in these moments Holy Communion to remember that the Lord takes pleasure in us, in spite of our sin. He could look upon us with disdain and judgment, yet He sees us through eyes of love. May humility be our response to this undeserved truth of Christ, so that we might someday experience His beautiful gift of salvation - everlasting life with Him.
