My Devotional Journal: Today’s Our Daily Bread from John Branon …  USE THIS LINK   … related the true story of a young woman, named Isobel Kuhn, known by most as “Belle,” who early in her life rejected her Christian parent’s faith in Christ and became depressed and despondent.   But searching for purpose in life, she finally surrendered her life to serve The Lord as a missionary in China and Indonesia, leading many thousands to faith in Christ.      

If you’ve taken in the linked song and the scriptures I’ve shared from the ODB entry today, I pray you, … as I do, … realize that each of us who’ve surrendered our lives to live for Christ’s calling have a purpose, … given to us by God.  It may not be to become a missionary; but it most certainly is to be an ambassador for Christ, … with a life serving the Lord in some way.  I’m doing my utmost to serve our Lord everyday by searching for my meaning by following His word (see photo).   How about you?

My Thanksgiving: … Oh, King Jesus, thank You …Lord, … for calling me and giving me meaning in life by serving You.

My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, … thank You, Lord, for calling us today … and all days … to serve You.  … Amen
