1 John 2 : 12-18
KJV


12 I write unto you, little children,
because your sins are forgiven you for his name's sake.
13 I write unto you, fathers,
because ye have known him that is from the beginning.
I write unto you, young men, because ye have overcome the wicked one.
I write unto you, little children,
because ye have known the Father.
14 I have written unto you, fathers,
because ye have known him that is from the beginning.
I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong,
and the word of God abideth in you,
and ye have overcome the wicked one.
15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world.
If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
16 For all that is in the world,
the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes,
and the pride of life,
is not of the Father, but is of the world.
17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof:
but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.
18 Little children, it is the last time:
and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come,
even now are there many antichrists;
whereby we know that it is the last time.
   


Today's Prayer...


Our great God,

Still hidden and yet so evident and near,
we thank You that You are at work in us before we think of asking.
We thank You that You hold us by the hand and
lead us before we are aware of it.
Stay with us in this way and awaken our hearts at the right moment,
that we are not surprised by the painful things
we experience but can be prepared at all times to watch and pray,
trusting that we are not forsaken in the constant strife on this earth.
Grant us hope,
O God,
that the time is coming when all people will hear the proclamation,
“See, a new heaven and a new earth,
because You have learned to see God’s honor in everything.”


In the Name of the Most Holy we
pray in Jesus' Name

Amen
