My Devotional Journal: Today’s Our Daily Bread from Monica La Rose …  USE THIS LINK         … tells of a Victorian age poem, written by Christina Rossetti, entitled  “A Better Resurrection,”, which describes faith in Christ transforming the author’s life from hopeless to hopeful by her faith in Christ’s resurrection and what it meant for the author’s life.

And I’m stopping to pray - right now as I write this - from the truth of the God’s word above as well as from Carrie Underwood’s singing of the old hymn linked above, that our surrender, as a life offering of faith to Jesus, will transform our lives FOREVER.   I’m there today, willing to give my all to/for Him.   How about you?

My Thanksgiving:… Oh, King Jesus, thank You …Lord, … for giving me Your glory when You died for me on that cross.  So, … I’m here to give you my all today.

My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, … thank You, for allowing any of us who believe in You as Lord to give our all as an offering in return for Your glory.    … Amen
