My Devotional Journal: Today's Our Daily Bread author, Sheridan Voysey… AT THIS LINK … Writes about how we, in this digital age, are often given the opportunity to rate the performance of others who have served us (see photo).  And often, by cell phone or computer, we make these judgments without knowing the life context of what the servant was confronting as he/she was providing the service.      

Jesus, during His earthly ministry, often confronted situations where the world would have walked on by; but He, being God, showed mercy and compassion by healing the hurting and rebuilding the broken.  Today’s ODB entry is calling me (and all of us) to live, in this digital age, like Christ when we see others who need Godly compassion.  Oh, how I pray we meet that call to judge others with Christlike love and mercy and grace today.   

   

My THANKFULNESS: ... Oh, Abba Father, thank You, King Jesus, … for leading me - as I might rate others today on my cell-phone - to show compassion and mercy as You would always.         

My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I pray. again today, that all reading here will join me, … to judge or treat others as You, Lord, would treat us - ALWAYS! … Amen
