My Devotional Journal: Today’s Our Daily Bread from Tom Felton …  USE THIS LINK            wrote about Scottish missionary, Mary Slessor, who, in the 19th Century, worked among the African natives of Okoyong in Cameroon; …  who believed that twins were a sign of demons and would sacrifice them to abortion.  But Slessor showed the people to accept twins in love and she adopted many of them to show the people the love of God.

The ODB story illustrates how God’s love and saving grace will accept ALL who come to God, the Father, with their confessions and surrendered love, … as is depicted in the attached photo, in the linked song, and the Scriptures shared above.   And If my readers have taken in all of that, I pray we all realize that we can surrender our sins and fall into the loving arms of our Heavenly Father. YES, … He will accept us all, won’t He?

My Thanksgiving: … Oh, King Jesus, thank You … for even dying on that cross to give me a home with You as my Heavenly Father in glory.

My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, … thank You, Lord, … that there are no orphans with You as our heavenly Father. … Amen
