What are you making happen in your home today, sweet mother? Are you sowing discord? Are you sowing a bad attitude? Are you making it a negative and dissatisfied atmosphere?

Or, are you sowing joy and happiness? Are you sowing positivity and encouragement? Are you making your home full of gladness?

I love Psalm 46:4-5, “There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High. God is in the midst of her: she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and that right early.” God wants to dwell in the midst of your home. He wants you to make it a glad place to live.

You can’t do this in your own strength. Often, you feel absolutely the opposite! You don’t feel glad and you don’t feel like making anyone else glad! But how does the gladness come? There is a river! The Living Bible translates it, “There is a river of joy flowing through the City of our God—the sacred home of the God above all gods.” Praise God for the river of life of the Holy Spirit who dwells within us. Let the life of Jesus Christ (the One who has more joy than all His fellows) and who lives within you, flow from your life today.

Don’t give into your fleshly feelings. The secret of my life is learning to not live by my feelings but by the life of Christ within me. Let the river flow from your heart today and into your home. Let the river of the joy of the Holy Spirit overflow your home today.

Keep smiling.
