My Devotional Journal: Today's Our Daily Bread author, Lisa M Samra … AT THIS LINK … used an illustration from the popular British TV drama, Downtown Abbey, to show how difficult it can be to integrate a new person into en established family depicted in the drama.
And right now, having been very sick for the past few days, all I want to convey today is the glorious truth that in my belief in the finished work of Jesus, Whom I believe to be The Christ, I know that I’m part of God’s family and will be with His glorious family one day in heaven. And I pray anyone reading here with me will be part of that family as well.
And I hope that we all can sing along with Bill Gather in the linked song that we are all graciously a part of the Family of God.
My THANKFULNESS: ... Oh, Abba Father, thank You, King Jesus, … for allowing me into Your family
My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I pray that all reading here will join me, … to worship and work together gratefully today as part of the family of God… … Amen
