While some will agree that it’s good to live a private life, when I became a Pastor I realized something:
I am a book that someone is reading.
And it’s true. Scripture backs it up.
2 Corinthians 3:2-3
You yourselves are our letter, written on our hearts, known and read by everyone. You show that you are a letter from Christ... written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God.”
Imagine if they can’t “read” Christ in us. What a great disadvantage to the world.
Your story is a testimony. Your life is a sermon. I have used mine to preach the gospel, not just with words, but with how I live.
This past week I was at my parents’ home in my hometown to see my son. We had weaned him, so I honestly thought after a month apart, he would forget me.
But the moment he saw “Dad” after a month, the joy and recognition on his face shocked me. He remembered me.
That night I slept with him in the spare bedroom. A reminder that love and connection don’t expire with time.
Every time I visit my parents, I choose a day to cook for them. It’s my pledge of honor.
Usually it’s fish coated with egg and flour, served with sadza. Simple, but it’s my way of saying “thank you” and “I honor you.”
Dear child of God, I’ve heard it too often — and it’s true:
Some children have cut off relationships with their parents. Some are not even on talking terms.
But today I want to remind you:
It’s not too late to reconcile.
Ephesians 6:2-3
Honor your father and mother — which is the first commandment with a promise — so that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth.”_
Colossians 3:20
Children, obey your parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord.”_
You have no idea the blessings that your parents carry. The prayers, the wisdom, the covering.
Don’t wait until it’s too late to mend that bridge.
Let’s build strong relationships.
I’m getting stronger through this journey, even through their grandson.
Who are you “reading” today? And who is “reading” you?
Let your life preach. Let your home be full of honor.
