My Devotional Journal: Today’sb Our Daily Bread  Author, Brent Hackett -  AT THIS LINK  -tells of a funeral director what it meant to be “born again;”  and the son of the man whose funeral was being arranged took the opportunity to share truth of being “born again”  from the Gospel account in John, Chapter 3.   

And if my readers have taken in the linked song and the Scriptures shared above, we, who have faith in the risen Lord, know that when we  believed in Jesus as Lord and Messiah, we were born again into God’s family to spend eternity with Jesus in Heaven.  Yes, we are “born again” … forever to be with our Lord in heaven.  So, can I sense my fellow Christians, joining with me in a a rousing “Hosanna” … and a “Hallelujah,” … praising our Lord for His wonderful mercy and grace.                   

My THANKFULNESS: ... Oh, Abba Father, thank You, King Jesus, … for Your mercy, Lord, and being born again into Your Family.            

My Prayer Today:  Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I’m praying that those who read with me here will join me to praise You, Lord, for Your mercy and Your saving grace.       …  Amen
