My Devotional Journal: Today’s Our Daily Bread from James Banks …  USE THIS LINK   … writes of how a worker in a Christians relief organization noticed a woman crying as the workers were there to help rebuild the woman’s home after a hurricane had almost destroyed her house. (see photo) And so, the worker asked the woman why she was crying, to which the woman replied, “I’m not crying because I lost everything.  I’m crying because love just showed up.”

The ODB story is a good illustration of God’s love showing up - thru the help of those who love Jesus - when help is needed.   I think it is; and I hope that my fellow Christian readers, with me here today, see the call on our hearts to be God’s love … showing up to help if the need is there for us to be there with God’s love.   So, if we see the need today, I’m praying we become God’s love to reach out, … like the song linked above calls us, …  and help someone who needs God’s love.   Are you with me?

My Thanksgiving:… Oh, King Jesus, thank You …Lord, … for calling ME to become Your love by helping someone today. 

My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, … thank You, Lord, giving us the opportunity to be Your love by helping others.    … Amen
