My Devotional Journal: Today’s Our Daily Bread  Author -  Tim Gustafson  … AT THIS LINK  -    tells of a young woman, who desired and worked to improve her deaf sign skills to be able to communicate more effectively with deaf friends.  And as she improved her deaf signing skills, she learned how the deaf were excluded from mainstream society.  And she was even honored by a deaf friend as having a “deaf heart.”   

And in that story we see a life picture of why God sent His Son, to become a human, living as the “God-Man” (see Scriptures above) and dying on Cross to save mankind and become our High Priest, defeating death and saving sinful mankind.  Will all who read with me here, join me in gratitude and praise for the Lamb of God becoming that babe in a manger … The Christ, and taking on human flesh to fulfill His eternal mission to save us thru faith in His finished work on the cross.  I, for one, am saying, “HALLELUJAH!”, … how about you?   

My Thanksgiving: … Oh, King Jesus, thank You for taking on flesh to save me from my own flesh.  

  

My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I pray. again today, that all reading here will join me, … to lift praise of “Gratitude,: as sung in the linked song for You, Lord, becoming a man to save all of us who believe in You as our Messiah.      …  Amen
