My Devotional Journal: Today’s Our Daily Bread  Author, Anne Cetas -  AT THIS LINK  -  wrote above a young Christian man, named Brad,  who moved to a new city and quickly found a church, telling the Pastor, after worshipping in this new church family for a few weeks, … that he wanted to serve in the church in any way necessary.   He began by setting up chairs for the worship service and cleaning rest-rooms.  Weeks later the Pastor found that Brad had teaching gifts; and so, Brad was asked to teach his fellow church members in service to God’s kingdom.  

And if my fellow Christian readers have taken in they linked song and meditated on the Scriptures shared above; I think we all get the point that since Jesus came to serve us all, we are called to serve our Lord and His kingdom in some way every day and for His glory.  Where will we be serving Him by serving others today?                         

My THANKFULNESS: ... Oh, Abba Father, thank You, King Jesus, … for calling and using me, Lord, in ministry to help Christian men walk free from addiction to sexual sin.                

My Prayer Today:  Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... .Again, …  I’m praying that those who read with me here will join me use the gift(s) You, Lord, have given us to serve You and Your kingdom.       …  Amen
