1 John 2:27
But I have received You, Holy Spirit, and You live within me, so I don’t need anyone to teach me what is true. For You, Holy Spirit, teach me all things, and what You teach is true–it is not a lie. So I continue in what You have taught me, and I continue to live in You, Christ.
Tuesday
1 John 2:28

Wednesday
1 John 2:29
Since I know that You, God, are always right, I also know that all who do what is right are Your children.
Thursday
1 John 3:1
I see how very much You, my heavenly Father, love me, for You allow me to be called Your child, and I really am! But the people who belong to this world don’t know You, God, so they don’t understand that I am Your child.
Friday
1 John 3:2,3
Yes, I am already Your child, God, and I can’t even imagine what I will be like when You, Christ, return. But I do know that when You come I will be like You, for I will see You as You really are. And all who believe this will keep themselves pure, just as You, Jesus, are pure.

4688. You cannot change human nature, but perhaps you can improve it.
4689. It’s hard to keep a chip on the shoulder if you take a bow from time to time.
