My Devotional Journal: Today’s Our Daily Bread from Sheridan Voysey …  USE THIS LINK       … told of how a new Christian, named Emily Kenward, living on street in Brighton, England, and noticing the windows on the street were never open.  And motivated by her new faith, Emily, formed a group of people to reach out to contact the elderly on her street and show them the love of God.  

Truly God’s love is, as Cory Asbury sings in the linked song, a “Reckless Love.”  And according to God’s word (see Scriptures above), believers in Christ are driven by God’s love to love one another.   And so, I’m asking myself, … what I can do to share God’s love with someone in my life TODAY.   What about You? … Are you with me? 

My Thanksgiving: … Oh, King Jesus, thank You …Lord, … for moving me to share Your love with others … maybe today.  

My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, … thank You, Lord, for moving Your chosen children to share Your love with others who need it.    … Amen
