Reference Passage: … Matthew 18:14 [NLT] …

Reference 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?

Reference Passage: … Hebrews 6:10 [NLT] … 

10 For God is not unjust. He will not forget how hard you have worked for Him and how you have shown your love to Him by caring for other believers, as you still do.. 

… God’s word promises that the Lord will never forget those who serve Him faithfully by reaching out to help others in need of God’s love and grace.                

                                                                                                                          

My Devotional Journal: Today's Our Daily Bread author, Winn Collier … AT THIS LINK … wrote about a young man who was desperate to remember the password to his BITCOIN account (see photo), which contained a fortune of over 400 million dollars but was unavailable if he couldn’t remember his online Bitcoin password.    

But we, who are born-again in Christ, don’t have such worries about accessing our eternal account with God, do we?   NO!!!  If you’ve taken in the linked song and the truth of God’s word in the Scriptures above, we, who know Jesus as Lord and Savior, have a FOREVER confidence that our Lord has prepared a place for His disciples and all born-again believers which will always be there for us thru our faith in the finished work of our Lord, King Jesus, on the cross.  Our eternal account will always be there for us thru our relationship with our Lord.  And for that confidence, I will forever praise my King Jesus.   

Will you join me?!!       

My THANKFULNESS: ... Oh, Abba Father, thank You, King Jesus, … for never forgetting those who love You and are surrendered to follow You, Lord.    

My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I pray that all reading here will join me, … to thank you, Lord, for your unfailing love and grace.  … AMEN
