My Devotional Journal: Today’s Our Daily Bread  Author - Patricia Raybon … AT THIS LINK   … remembered how the mother of the bride at a friend’s wedding read from 1Corinthians 13, which is often called “The Love Chapter” in the Bible, where the Apostle Paul was trying to show fellow Christians how to come TOGETHER, and to overcome all divisions, thru applying the love of God in their (our) lives. 

And that is what today’s ODB entry and the remainder of the scriptures shared above declare; … and what the linked song sing is all about.  We, who call ourselves “Christians,” sometime forget how overwhelmingly important it is to let God’s love bind us together as His children (that’s us in this life!).  So, I’m praying that all my readers are letting our Lord hug us with His love <b>(see photo)</b> so that we can reach out and share His love with others today; … and then even more tomorrow.                         

          

My Thanksgiving: … Oh, King Jesus, thank You, … for being there with a big hug of Your love today.

My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I pray. … again today, … that all reading here will join me, … to reach out and share God’s love with others today.  … Amen
