For Reading and Meditation:      John 12:20-33The love for God that burns in our hearts must never be seen as the fruit of our labor, as if it is something we manufacture. Seeing the love of God for us, our own heart responds with love. We give love for love. We cannot help it. Let's be done with the idea that love for God is something we work at. It issues forth in good works, of course, but it begins in contemplation of how much we are loved. I often tell my students that they cannot love until they have been loved. By this I mean that love is a response. Our souls must receive love before they can give out love. Those who did not receive much love from their parents complain at this stage: "I can't love God because my soul was never properly prepared to love; my parents didn't love me." That is a problem I agree, but it must never be seen as an insoluble problem. No one who stands at Calvary and sees God dying for them on that tree can ever argue that because they were not loved by their parents they cannot now receive God's love. If they really believe that, then they are saying that God's love is balked by the adverse influence of human conditioning. God's love will only flow into us if we let it, and if we really want it. To desire it is like the touch of the hand on a spring blind; the blind is released and the sunlight flows in. Just to want His love is enough; He will do the rest.O God, forgive me if I have used excuses to barricade my heart against Your love. I gaze once more on Calvary and open my heart to allow its mighty magnetism to draw my soul toward You in a way it has never been drawn before. In Jesus' Name.

Let a little light into your soul every day with this wonderful devotional from English pastor Selwyn Hughes.

Every Day Light with Selwyn Hughes

"But I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to myself." (v. 32)

This implies that we are beloved of God, and that we know it, and love Him in return. That we should endeavour to retain our standing, and keep ourselves sensibly in the love of God, by setting it always before our minds; exercising our faith on it; and seeking the enjoyment of it by prayer and in the Lord's ways.We should keep ourselves in the exercise of love to God, by avoiding temptations, walking by faith, and living as in His presence. We should keep ourselves in the exercise of love one to another, by exhortation, forbearance, and example. We should preserve ourselves by the love of God from the temptations of Satan, the snares of the world, and the lusts of the flesh.Beloved, consider how the love of God aggravates our sins; how it should fire us with courage to oppose everything that is unholy or forbidden.O love divine, how sweet Thou art! When shall I end my longing heart All taken up by Thee? Grant me, O gracious Lord, to prove The sweetness of redeeming love, The love of Christ to me.

Written by James Smith for his own flock around 1840, but such was the demand that by 1846 over thirty thousand copies where in circulation.

The Believer's Daily Remembrancer

Keep yourselves in the love of God. - Jude 1:21

Mark the union of the Three Divine Persons in all their gracious acts. How unwisely do those believers talk who make preferences in the Persons of the Trinity; who think of Jesus as if he were the embodiment of everything lovely and gracious, while the Father they regard as severely just, but destitute of kindness. Equally wrong are those who magnify the decree of the Father, and the atonement of the Son, so as to depreciate the work of the Spirit. In deeds of grace none of the Persons of the Trinity act apart from the rest. They are as united in their deeds as in their essence. In their love towards the chosen they are one, and in the actions which flow from that great central source they are still undivided. Specially notice this in the matter of sanctification. While we may without mistake speak of sanctification as the work of the Spirit, yet we must take heed that we do not view it as if the Father and the Son had no part therein. It is correct to speak of sanctification as the work of the Father, of the Son, and of the Spirit. Still doth Jehovah say, "Let us make man in our own image after our likeness," and thus we are "his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them." See the value which God sets upon real holiness, since the Three Persons in the Trinity are represented as co-working to produce a Church without "spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing." And you, believer, as the follower of Christ, must also set a high value on holiness-upon purity of life and godliness of conversation. Value the blood of Christ as the foundation of your hope, but never speak disparagingly of the work of the Spirit which is your meetness for the inheritance of the saints in light. This day let us so live as to manifest the work of the Triune God in us.

This timeless classic from Charles Spurgeon will help to both start and end your day with wonderful insight into God's Word.

Charles Spurgeon's Morning & Evening

"Sanctified by God the Father." - Jude 1

Morning Devotional

God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth. § We … have access by one Spirit to the Father. O My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will. The Spirit … helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God. § This is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. § When He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth. Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication.

Daily Light on the Daily Path or Daily Light is a Christian daily devotional scripture reading published by Bagster & Sons about 1875. It has been reprinted continually since then. It consists of brief groupings of scripture passages which speak to prominent Biblical themes—two themes (morning and evening) for each day of the year. It appends no commentary, but simply allows scripture to speak for itself.

Morning Daily Light

 Praying in the Holy Spirit. 

Receive one who is weak in the faith. § Strengthened in faith, giving glory to God. O you of little faith, why did you doubt? § Great is your faith! Let it be to you as you desire. “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” They said to Him, “Yes, Lord.” … “According to your faith let it be to you.” Increase our faith. § [Build] yourselves up on your most holy faith. § Rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith. § He who establishes us with you in Christ … is God. § The God of all grace … after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you. We then who are strong ought to bear with the scruples of the weak, and not to please ourselves. § Let us not judge one another anymore, but rather resolve this, not to put a stumbling block or a cause to fall in our brother’s way.

新标点和合本（英语：Chinese Union Version with New Punctuation，缩写：CUNP 或 CUVNP）于1988年出版，由联合圣经公会组织圣经学者、翻译顾问和编辑人员，以《和合本》为基础展开修订。《新标点和合本》在用语和文体上基本没有改动[1]。目前香港圣经公会销售的中文圣经，主要也是以《新标点和合本》和《和合本修订版》为主[2]。1988年《新标点和合本》与1919年《和合本》的关系，就像是1769年《钦定版圣经》与1611年《钦定版圣经》，前者更新了拼写与标点，使之和现代一致。
