My Devotional Journal: Today’s Our Daily Bread  Author -  Dave Branon  … AT THIS LINK   … relates a story about losing his Passport and all the difficulties he went through to get a new passport to be able to join his church team on a mission trip to Jamaica.  

And the ODB author used the story to show just how much God went through, sending His Son to die on a cross, to give any/all who believe in Him as our Messiah, to be our passport to be with God in the glory of Heaven.  I’ve got my faith passport; … how about you?

 

My Thanksgiving: … Oh, King Jesus, thank You , Lord, for giving me Your passport to heaven thru my faith in Your finished work on the cross. 

My Prayer Toda: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I pray. again today, that all reading here will join me, … to thank You, Lord, for giving Your Son as our passport to glory.   Amen
