My Devotional Journal: Today’s Our Daily Bread  Author, Lisa M Samra -  AT THIS LINK -  - made reference to a video, recorded in 1917 (USE THIS LINK ) - which captures the love of a father, tenderly and lovingly, reassuring his little baby as the child was being given his first round of vaccinations.  

And if my readers will view the video [linked above], take in the linked song by Zach Williams, and meditate on the Scriptures above, I pray we all see - and experience - the loving and caring reality that King David, the Apostle Paul, and Jesus, Himself, wrote about in God’s word of God’s relentless and reassuring love.  So, let us bask in that love today.

My Prayer Today:: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I pray. again today, that all reading here will join me today, … to surrender to receive Your loving care today, Lord.. … Amen
