Berry Patch Devotions in 2023 - Day 5
Devotional Song: ... GO TO THIS LINK ... Please take the time to take in song and lyrics from Don Moen singing … God Will Make A Way … once again, … poignantly, yet powerfully, singing of God providing a way thru Christ to be with Him forever in glory.
==============
Highlight Passage: … John 14:2 [NLT] …
2 There is more than enough room in my Father’s home. If this were not so, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you?
… Jesus’ promise to His fearful disciples (and to us) that He would prepare a place in Heaven for any/all born-again believers.
Highlight Passage (Context): … John 14:1-6 [NLT] … USE THIS LINK …

… Jesus tells Nicodemus (and all who believe in Christ as Messiah) that God gave His only Son to provide a way to glory for anyone who believes in Him as the Son of God.

My Devotional Journal: Today's Our Daily Bread author, Karen Holmberg… AT THIS LINK … writes of how British bird lovers, trying to preserve the nesting grounds of Sand Martins, who were losing their beach nesting places to commercial development, built protected sand dwellings for the birds (See photo) for the birds to nest when they returned each year from migration.
And that’s sorta of a cool picture in nature of what Jesus promised His 12 disciples in that upper room, the night The Lord had told the 12 He would be leaving them; … BUT, … promising them to provide them a way - thru their faith in Him - to have an eternal home with Him in heaven. And that’s His promise to you and me as well, isn’t it?
And if you’ve taken in the linked song - (repeated from yesterday’s blog) - and believe, as I do, in God’s truth in the Scriptures above, all who believe in Jesus as our Lord - and that’s you and me too - will have eternal life and be with our Lord in the eternal home He has waiting for us in Heaven. So, why don’t we start living as if we believe in this truth?!!
My THANKFULNESS: ... Oh, Abba Father, thank You, King Jesus, … for making a place for me to be with Your, Lord, forever.
My Prayer Today> Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I pray that all reading here will join me, … to live our lives with the faith that You, Lord, have made a place of us to be with You in heaven. Amen
