And that’s so true, isn’t it?  How easy it is for even mature disciples of Christ - for really all of us - to wane in our faith; … i.e., to forget the truths espoused above in Scripture.  I’m certainly like the young man in the attached picture, needing to be in God’s word, like I am here today, to be reminded, … especially in troubled times like these, … that my Lord will NEVER forsake me, … that His mercies are new EVERY morning, … and that NOTHING in this world or life can EVER separate me from His love. 

Thank you, Lord, I need that reminder … AGAIN!!

My THANKFULNESS: ... Oh Abba Father, ... thank You, Lord, … for reminding me AGAIN of your unfailing … NEVER ENDING … love!!  

My Prayer Today<: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... I pray that all reading here will join me today to remember with thankful hearts of Your never ending mercy, grace, and love.   … Amen
