Hello, everyone. This is Seritta, and welcome to the Moms for Christ podcast! With us being in the Christmas season, my home is decorated on the outside with a few lights. But this year, I have laser lights that beam green and red dots onto my house. They beam through my shades as my shades aren’t down, and when they are down, I can still faintly see them. What strikes me is that inside of the house, if I mistakenly look into one of the laser light beams, it can be painful. They are so bright! It’s almost like when you mistakenly look at the sun; you have to stop for a moment to close your eyes and to recover.
Well, that’s what it should be like when we receive the truth— that it’s so unmistakable that we stop to deal with the issue and recover from being in deception. My main scripture today is in the book of 1 John, chapter 3, verse 18, where John begins to explain to the believers how we would know that we are in truth. He starts by saying: “Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth.”
"...what I say and do will be a comfort to them because it’s the truth that’s in action." When we are really receiving the truth, it can be painful and powerful, but I know God needs our lives to be grounded by the truth. When I correct my daughters for doing something wrong, there is almost always a response of either remorse, because they know they were wrong and are sorry about it, or denial that they should even get a consequence. My job is to make sure that I am not leading my children into deception and I’m always lovingly telling them the truth. When they’re watching me live my own life, what I say and do will be a comfort to them because it’s the truth that’s in action.
A telltale sign that our children are growing up is when they look at us and try to correct us. When my daughters were three years old, they started repeating to me, “Your shoes go on your feet. Your hat goes on your head.” And if I did something silly, like put my shoe on my head, they would say, “No!” and try to take it off themselves. That’s only because I’ve demonstrated over and over again that the hat goes on my head and the shoe goes on my feet. I showed them how I dressed; I didn’t just say it. So, they were confident enough to try correcting me.
"Our children need to be comforted and confident in us living lives of uncompromising truth." When the world around us is not saying what needs to be said, I’m still my children’s main source of understanding of truth. Isaiah 60:1-3 says: “‘Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you. See, darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the peoples, but the Lord rises upon you and his glory appears over you.
