My Devotional Journal: Today’s Our Daily Bread  Author, Karen Huang -  AT THIS LINK -  tells of a street sweeper, seeing a stray cat in a cardboard box (see photo) and stopping to pick up the cat, taking it home to join his two rescue dogs, saying, “I care for them because they’re the creatures no one notices, … I see myself in them. No one notices a street sweeper, after all.”

And the ODB author went on to describe the act of the street sweeper being Christlike, making reference to how Jesus, on His trek to the cross, often stopped to heal those whom nobody noticed, like He did with the blind beggar in the ODB highlight passage today.  I pray all my readers know and trust the Scriptures shared above, showing that our God knows our needs today; and will ALWAYS hear our prayer when we cry out for Him to help.     

My THANKFULNESS: ... Oh, Abba Father, thank You, King Jesus, … for knowing my needs and providing Your mercy and grace again today.    

My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I pray. again today, that all reading here will join me, … to cry out for Your help, dear Lord, knowing that You hear us.     Amen
