A Safe Haven

My church home means so much to me. It’s not as though it’s the only one where I’ve been a member. It’s the fact that it is my safe haven, my Sunday morning spiritual retreat, my meeting place with loved ones, and the place where I come heart to heart with the Lord. Having gone to church my entire life, I find it such a pleasing excursion to enter my place of worship, and to share Christ’s body and blood with all the saints that have gone before me and the ones that are beside me. I revel in the fact that the people with me share in the confession of our sins, the glorifying of our Lord, and the benefits that come from hearing the words of the sermon and the partaking of the Lord’s supper. What gladness indeed!
