My Devotional Journal: Today’s Our Daily Bread Author - Arthur Jackson … AT THIS LINK     … related the story of Ms. Charlene, a little lady, who at age 94 had a big heart in taking care of her handicapped son and showing the love of God to her fellow Church members.  

And Ms Charlene is a personal example of what God’s word shares in the Highlight Passage today, calling on all of us, who claim Christ as our Savior and Lord, to show His love as we share in reaching out to help others.   If my readers have taken in the linked song and the Scriptures above, perhaps you, …  like me, … are asking what we might do - even today - to show the love of God by helping someone else today as King Jesus has shown His caring love for us.                        

          

My Thanksgiving: … Oh, King Jesus, thank You, … for giving me opportunities to show Your love by helping someone 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 Your love for others today.   … Amen
