My Devotional Journal: Today's Our Daily Bread</b></i> author, Lisa M Samoa … AT THIS LINK …  uses the image of the devotion and commitment of a young groom for his bride (see photo) as they make their vows at a wedding to show of our God’s joyous and everlasting  love commitment to His people.                

And if you are a born-again Christian, as I am, on this “Valentine’s Day” here in America, I pray that we know of the extent of God’s love for us today so that we can go out and share that love with others.  So, please take in the linked song and meditate on the Scriptures above and know, my fellow Christian, that we are loved eternally by our Heavenly Father, Who has sent His Son, … as a Bridegroom, … to be with His Bride forever.                         

My THANKFULNESS: ... Oh, Abba Father, thank You, King Jesus, … for loving me with an everlasting love commitment, revealed in Your Son, my Bridegroom and Lord, who will come to take me home one day.                       

My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I pray that all reading here will join me, … to look forward to Your wedding feast, O Lamb of God, when You come for Your Bride and take us home to be with you forever.   … Amen
