Morning:

The younger son . . . took his journey into a far country,
and there wasted his substance with riotous living.

Such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are
sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus,
and by the Spirit of our God.--We were by nature the children of
wrath, even as others. But God, who is rich in mercy, for his
great love wherewith he loved us, even when we were dead in
sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are
saved;) and hath raised [us] up together, and made [us] sit
together in heavenly [places] in Christ Jesus.

Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us,
and sent his Son [to be] the propitiation for our sins.

God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet
sinners, Christ died for us. . . . If, when we were enemies, we
were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being
reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.

Evening:

As Christ forgave you, so also [do] ye.

There was a certain creditor which had two debtors: the one
owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty. And when they had
nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them both.--I forgave thee
all that debt, because thou desiredst me: shouldest not thou
also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had
pity on thee?

When ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any:
that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your
trespasses. But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father
which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.--Put on, . . . as
the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness,
humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; forbearing one
another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel
against any.

How oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him?
till seven times? Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee,
Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.

Charity, . . . is the bond of perfectness.
