How many times have you had an argument with your spouse, kids, sibling, friend, or self right before entering into church, the grocery store, or some other public place? Did you put on a mask of a smile or give a false personality dance?
I admit, I have.
We ought to vow like David did, "I will walk in my house with a blameless heart." I have broken that vow. It is not easy to walk upright and blameless in our homes. Why not? Because we do not allow Christ to be the Lordship of our homes and lives. He can only come so far into the house. We are more relaxed because we hold account to no one in our mind's eye. We hurt the ones we are clisest too also.
It can be a rewarding vow though. Little investments made brings with it great rewards. We do this by changing our walk with Christ daily, drawing on His strength, and obeying His word.
Show kindness in place of hate, give a gentle tone and word instead of brutally harsh words. Once we take time to show love and kindness the dynamics of our homes will alter. We will be able to walk upright and blameless in our heart.
~Be encouraged; it's never too late!
