My Devotional Journal: Today’s Our Daily Bread  Author, Dave Branson -  AT THIS LINK  -  describes how The Eiffel Tower had been revered for it’s beauty and grandeur in Paris for over 130 years.  However, …  when it was built, … many in France felt it was an eye-sore.  .    

Sort of like the beauty of Jesus, Who was certainly not recognized for the beauty and grandeur of Whom He really was when He was born or when He walked on this earth as our Savior and Lord.  But now, … those who can see and believe Who He is, … as our Lord and Savior, … are saved by Whom we see now as our beautiful Savior (see photo). 

Jesus is our wondrous and beautiful Lord and Savior.  At least that’s how I see Him.   What about you?.                    

My THANKFULNESS: ... Oh, Abba Father, thank You, King Jesus, … for being willing to pursue me and save me, … as my beautiful Savior.  

My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I’m praying that those who read with me here will stop and praise You, Lord, … seeing You as our beautiful Savior.   … Amen
