Home Living

I have one more today......
I am the vine, you are the branches.He who abides in Me,and I in him, bears much fruit.~~ John 15:5 NKJV ~~
How we live at home is the acid test for any Christian man or woman. It is far easier to live an excellent life among our friends, when we are putting our best foot forward and are conscious of public opinion, than it is to live for Christ in our home.Our own family circle sees us in our unguarded moments. They see us when exhaustion and stress fray our nerves. Our own family circle knows whether Christ lives in and through us.

If I am a true Christian, I will not give way at home to bad temper, impatience, faultfinding, sarcasm, unkindness, suspicion, selfishness or laziness. Instead, each day my life will display the fruit of the Spirit, which is "love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control" (Galatians 5:22-23, NIV).How different would your home be if you consistently practiced these Christ-like virtues?The Reverand Billy Graham: Hope for Each Day - Words of Wisdom and Faith

This is very inspirational, I have been struggling with my game face all my life and God has been speaking to me on it. I'm more determined now than ever to quit the game face and be Christ like all the time.

Thanks for the posting.

That is such an inspirational post. And how true it is - it's so easy to put on our "Christian face" when we're out with friends and then turn into a monster at home.

Thank you.
