My Devotional Journal</u>: Today’s Our Daily Bread Author , Dave Brandon -  AT THIS LINK -  tells of how, when he was teaching, discovered that a young lady had been cheating by using an online source to write her paper.  But the ODB author gave her an opportunity to rewrite the paper, showing the young woman the kind of grace we all receive in our faith in Christ.        

And this ODB entry is an illustration of the kind of grace we can extend to others when we live by God’s saving grace, which is extended by our Lord when we believe in Him to receive God’s saving and sanctifying grace. I pray that all reading here with me have received God’s grace so that we can extend it to others EVERY DAY. 

My THANKFULNESS: ... Oh, Abba Father, thank You, King Jesus, … for saving me thru Your grace so that I reach out today and share it with others.          

My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I pray. again today, that all reading here will join me, … to share Your love and grace, Lord, to others today.      Amen
