The Daily Office of Morning and Evening Prayer are found in the Book of Common Prayer or online:
Morning Evening
Romans 3:23-24: "...since all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God; they are now justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus..."
When I was a little girl I was in a club at our Baptist church called "Awanas" that was like Girl or Boy Scouts for church kids. You could earn badges for your uniform by memorizing verses from the Bible and this verse from Romans was one I learned early on. I remember being struck as a young child by the idea that even though we all sin, we are all given this gift of grace in Jesus (I don't think I knew what justified meant yet!). Its meaning to me was profound and I realized it was summed up in the children's song we sang: "Jesus loves the little children, ALL the children of the world. Red and yellow, black and white, we are precious in his sight, Jesus loves the little children of the world." The word "all" was important to me then. Perhaps it is even more important to me now.
Jesus loves you!
