Morning
“You have been weighed in the balances and found wanting.”
The LORD is a God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed.—“For what is exalted among men is an abomination in the sight of God.”—“The LORD sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the LORD looks on the heart.”—Do not [...]

Morning
Rejoice in hope.
The hope laid up for you in heaven.—If in this life only we have hoped in Christ, we are of all people most to be pitied.—Through many tribulations we must enter the kingdom of God.—“Whoever does not bear his own cross and come after me cannot be my disciple.”—That no one be moved [...]

Let us lift up our hearts and hands to God in heaven.
Who is like the LORD our God, who is seated on high, who looks far down on the heavens and the earth?—To you, O LORD, I lift up my soul.—I stretch out my hands to you; my soul thirsts for you like a parched [...]

Morning
Wait for the LORD; be strong, and let your heart take courage.
Have you not known? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary. . . . He gives power to the faint, and to him who has no might he increases [...]

Morning
The fruit of the Spirit is . . . gentleness.
The meek shall obtain fresh joy in the LORD, and the poor among mankind shall exult in the Holy One of Israel.—“Unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of [...]

Morning
The free gift following many trespasses brought justification.
“Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall become like wool.”—“I, I am he who blots out your transgressions for my own sake, and I will not remember your sins. Put me in remembrance; let [...]

Morning
The king . . . held out to Esther the golden scepter. . . . Then Esther approached and touched the tip of the scepter.
“If he cries to me, I will hear, for I am compassionate.”
So we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in [...]
