“When therefore he had gone out, Jesus said, ‘Now is the
Son of Man glorified, and God is glorified in Him; if God is glorified in Him,
God will also glorify Him in Himself, and will glorify Him immediately.
“’Little children, I am with you a little while
longer. You shall seek Me; and as I said
to the Jews, I now say to you, also, ‘Where I am going, you cannot come.’
“’A new commandment I give to you, that you love one
another, even as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all men will know that you are My disciples,
if you have love for one another.’” Luke 13:31-35
Love one another as I have loved you.
God brings His children together in many
mysterious ways and so it was for me through a knock on my door. There was a bag of McDonalds and four smiling
individuals, a family with two children, one was six years old and the other
thirteen months.
They became lifetime friends and as close to a second family
as I’ve ever had and so they remain today, although thousands and thousands of
miles now separate us.
Yesterday, there was a need for me to take my morning
devotion time and hold the hand of the mom – a gift God has entrusted to
me. Please always remember that Jesus
offered this commandment for our good and His glory!
Take care, your servant and friend in Christ, Darlene (who
prays for you each morning.)

revival in the USA and religious freedom for Christians wherever they may be.

Isaias and Judith
(Ambassadors for Christ the Philippines) – the Philippines has been
devastated by constant batterings from typhoons and floods. Take a moment to visit their new website: https://afcph.org/
to learn more. Many believers have lost
everything, including worship centres, computer equipment, musical instruments
and sound systems. China’s threat grows. Pray for the leaders, administrators, workers
and teachers. Pray our Father keep these
servants strong, in good health, safe and supported and that they keep a
balance in their lives. They need funds badly now. Please take a moment to send encouragement
to Isaias Catorce, who teaches and leads the groups at icatorce@gmail.com

J&R – recently
had the privilege of sharing the Gospel with them and would appreciate prayers
that God uses His words in their hearts to draw them to Him for Eternity!
Pray for those in full-time service
Pray to uphold our Christian leaders – that they never compromise God’s Word, are bold and courageous in the face of evil. Pray for their wisdom, safety, ingenuity, strength and for their families.
Pray for those with ongoing health concerns
Many of us have family, friends and loved ones with fragile health. Pray God takes special care with them and protects them in practical ways and that the Lord will have mercy on them during this challenging time.
