Morning
A two-minute start: open 1 John 4:1 and read it twice. The first time, listen. The second time, stop on “beloved.” The verse says, “Beloved, don’t believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.”
Bedtime prayer
God, bless the child who is still thinking about 1 John 4. Make “beloved” feel like your kindness, not a test. Amen.
Challenge
Draw a tiny picture of “beloved” and tape it where you will see it in the morning.
