Heavenly Father, thank You for Your Word and this beautiful and instructive letter from John. Keep me from the deception and deceit of antichrists, false teachers, doctrines of demons, and the allure of worldly charms. Help me to shine as a child of light in an increasingly darkening world, to Your praise and glory and may Thy will be done, both in my life and in the wider world. Thank You, in Jesus' name, AMEN.
