Day 246 – The best way to teach the truths of life are to become an open book.
Today’s Reading: Hosea 13 – Joel 1
Joel 1:3 “Tell your children of it, and let your children tell their children, and their children to another generation.”
Do you hide the truth from your children or do you speak openly with them about your struggles and ‘The Truth’. Are you afraid of the outcome if they see the real you?
When we become an open book of all the realities in our life our children will learn best about what Truth really is. They can relate to us when we choose to be real, they won’t think we are perfect, but we will point them to being made perfect through Christ. They can see how someone can mess up and make up for it with redemption and salvation.
When we hide behind the perfect facade of false truths our children will also hide the truth that we want them to share with us. But when we become an open book, our children for many generations will have an opportunity to point to God’s Grace and Mercy in our lives. It is in these moments that God will speak volumes.
Story telling was how Jesus spoke to his disciples and those he met on the road. We have this same opportunity wrapped in side of each of us to lead the next generation directly to Him. So what will you do? We have a huge cloud of witnesses watching us, speak truth, read from your Book into their life.
