My Devotional Journal: Today's Our Daily Bread author, Monica La Rose … AT THIS LINK … relates about deep and sincere feelings of love for someone in the author’s past who, after separating in relationship, cause so many confusing feelings.
And “love” can be confusing and frustrating; but when we know and feel the Love of Christ for others, it’s the REAL-DEAL and should be expressed to others. And I know that kind of love; and any reader here can see that love expressed for the 57 years of our marriage (see photo). But everyday, tho it may not be as intense as my love for the one in the photo or my love for my Savior, I also can express “read-deal,” Christlike, love for others in my life; and I pray we do so everyday of our lives.
My THANKFULNESS: ... Oh, Abba Father, thank You, King Jesus, … for giving me Your “real-deal” love to share with others.
My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I pray that all reading here will join me, … to share the love You have for us with others today. … Amen
