My Devotional Journal: Today's Our Daily Bread author, Jams Banks, AT THIS LINK   … writes of Helen Roseveare, a missionary to Africa in the 60s who was captured and tortured, … at times wondering it it was all worth it.  But then, God showed her that HE WAS WORTHY of her service and sacrifice.  

It’s certainly not difficult, in times of hardship or trial, to feel that Christian service, which can really be hard, is worth it all. … But as the ODB entry asks, … the question should not be “Is it worth it?”  No, the question MUST Be … “Is HE worth it?” And if we believe in what Chris Tomlin sings and God’s word says above, then we’d have to conclude it’s all worth it  ... because the Lamb of God, our King Jesus, was slain on a cross for our sins. And He is worthy of all praise and glory. 

Yes, my dear one, … whatever we’re going thru for Christ’s sake today, is worth it  ... because HE is worth it !!! 

My THANKFULNESS: ... Oh, Abba Father, thank You, King Jesus, …for giving me the opportunity to serve my Lamb of Go today.  

My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I pray that all reading here will join me, … to recognize that our Lord is worth anything we must endure for His sake.  … Amen
