Thursday, December 30 Read 1 John 2:12-17 I am writing to you, children,because your sins have been forgiven for his name's sake. Do not love the world or the things of the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world,sensual lust, enticement for the eyes, and a pretentious life,is not from the Father but is from the world. Yet the world and its enticement are passing away. But whoever does the will of God remains forever. Lord protect me from the snares of this world.  Help me remember today who you are and all that you have done in me.  Jesus, I want to know you even more.

Wednesday, December 29 Read 1 John 2:3-11 Beloved:The way we may be sure that we know Jesus is to keep his commandments. Whoever says, "I know him," but does not keep his commandmentsis a liar, and the truth is not in him.But whoever keeps his word,the love of God is truly perfected in him. This is the way we may know that we are in union with him:whoever claims to abide in him ought to walk just as he walked. Jesus, all praise and glory belongs to your holy name!  I am so blessed to have seen your salvation.  I am so honored to have received your redemption.  I want to sing aloud about your marvelous deeds!  Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever!
