Devotional Song: ... GO TO THIS LINK ...

My Devotional Journal: Today's Our Daily Bread author, Asiri Fernando, AT THIS LINK … tells about Lorraine, a resident of Sri Lanka, where she saw using the drivers of the “Tuk-Tuk” three-wheel taxis in the Capital of Colombo (see photo) to be a mission field, sharing her Good News faith with any driver who would listen.
Perhaps there is someone in our lives whom we know needs to hear the Good News of Christ, … someone with whom we can share God’s saving grace. Because, … fellow Christian, … I think we all agree with the message of the linked song, sung by Steve Green; and we would also agree that we’re all called to share Christ’s love and grace with anyone and everyone God leads into our lives who needs to hear of His good news. That’s the message of the Scriptures above, … which we all also know are true.
I’m convicted to see whom that might be for me today. How about you?
My THANKFULNESS: ... Oh, Abba Father, thank You, King Jesus, … for calling us to share your good news of grace with others.
My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I pray that all reading here will join me, … to share Your good news with one who needs Your saving grace today or tomorrow. … Amen
