Dwight L. Moody once said,
"A man ought to live so that everybody knows he is a Christian...most of all, his family ought to know."
If your family didn't know just because they heard your public profession of faith in Christ, would they know simply based upon your actions...your words? Our family knows the 'real' us; they know who we are when we're tired or hungry or just plain grouchy. But, do they know of our desire to serve The Lord? Can they see Christ in us? Can they hear His compassion in our voice...feel His gentleness in our touch...see His passion in our goals?
Girls, no young lady will ever be perfect, and none will ever be the picture-perfect lady ALL the time. But, we ought to be trying to be more and more like Christ everyday, and our own family above everyone else should see our heart's desire to be kind, to be loving, to be sacrificial, even when they know the most intimate details of our lives.
Let us purpose today that our light of Christ shine brightest to those we love the very most, our family.
