My Devotional Journal: Today’s Our Daily Bread from Kenneth Petersen …  USE THIS LINK   told of a British TV show which pitted nine amateur artists who were charged to paint a portrait of a local celebrity for the show; and the ODB author tried to use this TV show to illustrate how God often puts his chosen ones thru a reshaping process - HIs process used to give them all they need to serve Him (i.e.,The Lord).  

And I charge all my readers here to use the links provided and take in the ODB entry today as well as the linked song and the Scriptures shared above, all of which really convicted me to be willing to allow God to use His saving grace to reshape me for my good and his glory (on your own go to Romans 8:28).  How about you?

My Thanksgiving: … Oh, King Jesus, thank You for doing a make-over of my life to serve You.    

My Prayer Today:   Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, … thank You, Lord, … for reshaping the lives of those You’ve chosen to serve You. …  Amen
