IS YOUR HOME FLOODED WITH LIGHT?

We are currently in the season of remembering the most wonderful celebration in the history of the world--when Jesus Christ, the Son of God, came to this earth as a little baby. We know that this was not the actual time of his birth, but it could have been the time of His miraculous incarnation.

 
God spoke through the prophecy of Zacharias that He would send His Beloved Son into the world "TO GIVE LIGHT TO THEM THAT SIT IN DARKNESS and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace" (Luke 1:79). This is not the light of Christmas lights, but the light of Jesus Christ that fills are hearts and which He wants us to shine to everyone around us.
 
They had no room for the Light of the World in Bethlehem. Do we make room for Him in our lives? Do we allow Him to expose the darkness and flood our lives with His light? Every time we respond to the moving of the Holy Spirit in our lives and say Yes to God we open to His light. When we are stubborn, want our own way, and say No to the convicting of the Holy Spirit, we choose darkness.
 
Dear mother, we must teach our children this powerful principle too. Every time they say Yes to you and Yes to the Holy Spirit, they receive more light into their lives. When they disobey you and say No to the voice of their conscience, they allow darkness into their lives.
Let’s be those who open up MORE AND MORE to the Light and less and less to the darkness. Proverbs 4:18: "But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth MORE AND MORE unto the perfect day."
 
Each new day, individually and as a family, ask God to FLOOD YOU WITH HIS LIGHT.
