Morning:
God so loved the world, that he gave his only
begotten Son, that whoever believeth in him
should not perish, but have everlasting life.
God . . . hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and
hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; that is, that
God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, not imputing
their trespasses to them; and hath committed to us the word of
reconciliation. Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though
God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be
ye reconciled to God. For he hath made him to be sin for us,
who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God
in him. God is love. In this was revealed the love of God toward
us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world,
that we might live through him. In this is love, not that we
loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the
propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought
also to love one another.

Evening:
The spirit of man is the lamp of the LORD.
He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone
at her. . . . And they who heard it, being convicted by their
own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest,
even to the last.
Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the
tree, of which I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?
To him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it
is sin. If our heart condemneth us, God is greater than our
heart, and knoweth all things. Beloved, if our heart doth not
condemn us, then have we confidence toward God.
All things indeed are pure; but it is evil for that man
who eateth with offence. . . . Happy is he that condemneth not
himself in what he approveth.
Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my
thoughts: and see if there is any wicked way in me, and lead
me in the way everlasting.
