My Devotional Journal: Today’s Our Daily Bread  Author -  Winn Collier … AT THIS LINK  -  writes about two gravestones which rise above the wall separating the catholic and protestant graves, the two statues with joined hands from the graves of a husband and wife who wanted their love to be on display to rise above the separation of a time of religious separation.      

And if my readers have taken in the linked song and the Scriptures shared above, i’m hoping that you all recognize what Paul taught in Romans 8:37-39 … that NOTHING can separate fellow Christians from the Love and Grace of God.    if God is in our hearts, we WILL rise above worldly separation, as did the statues in the photo, to join with others, expressing the never-ending, RECKLESS, love of God.            

                                                                    

My THANKFULNESS: ... Oh, Abba Father, thank You, King Jesus, … thank You, Lord, for ALWAYS loving me.   

My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I pray. again today, that all reading here will join me, … to join hands with other Christians to show our love - which is Your Love - for one another.      …  Amen
