When I asked Christ into my heart, He gave me wholeness, not crumbs.
You no longer have to accept crumbs either, in life or in love.
Jesus is offering you wholeness.
No more crumbs.
I beseech you as one who was starving and living on crumbs.
Come to the table of the Lord, he will welcome you.
He loves you. He wants you to partake in the fullness of what He died to give you.
God does not despise our weakness. They who humble themselves before God are given the Bread of Life.
When we give our hearts to God there is a divine exchange of our dead life for His Living Way.
Jesus Christ offers you and I all that He is and all that He died to give us.
Ask for it.
Receive it.
We receive the Lord Jesus as our Savior by accepting the sacrifice of His shed blood on our behalf.
For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin: that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. ( 2 Corinthians 5:21)
There is a divine exchange of our sins for His righteousness. As we take communion we are remembering what Jesus Christ has done for us.
This act of obedience reminds all that is within us to praise God, to be thankful.
To receive what His sacrifice purchased for us in healing and in wholeness.
Consider this thought.
What if this small act of obedience to partake of the Bread and the Wine of His sacrifice changes your life? Your mind? Your physical body?
Jesus said “This do in remembrance of me” not just part of it, but “all of it.”
Matthew 26:27 -28
And he took the cup, and gave thanks and gave it them, saying,“Drink ye all of it;
For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.
Luke 22:17,19,20
And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves:
And he took bread and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me.
Likewise also the cup after supper, saying,This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.

The Divine Exchange, No More Crumbs

As this painting was given to me after praying for a bit I was reminded of the woman who asked Jesus to help her.
She had a problem that she could not fix.
She worshipped and asked Jesus to help her. She fell at his feet. She worshipped.
When we receive Jesus Christ as our Savior, we too are letting him know that we also need his help.
God’s written Word is multifaceted to me. Every way I consider it, it is revealed in a new beauty that is light filled and life changing.
I challenge you to come to the LORD and ask Him to reveal all that He is and ask Him to give you all that you Can receive from Him.

Prayer: Father God, help me. Help me to honor you and receive all that your Son died to give me. In Jesus name. Amen
If you have never asked Jesus to be your Savior, ask Him. God loves you so very much.
Matthew 15:21-28
Then Jesus went thence, and departed into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon.
And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou Son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil.
But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us.
But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me.
But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it to dogs.
And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table.
Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt.
And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.
Mark 7:24-30
And from thence he arose, and went into the borders of Tyre and Sidon, and entered into an house, and would have no man know it: but he could not be hid.
For a certain woman, whose young daughter had an unclean spirit, heard of him, and came and fell at his feet:
The woman was a Greek, a Syrophenician by nation; and she besought him that he would cast forth the devil out of her daughter.
But Jesus said unto her, Let the children first be filled: for it is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it unto the dogs.
And she answered and said unto him, Yes, Lord: yet the dogs under the table eat of the children's crumbs.
And he said unto her, For this saying go thy way; the devil is gone out of thy daughter.
And when she was come to her house, she found the devil gone out, and her daughter laid upon the bed.
