John is writing to the church and speaks words straight from the heart of the Father. What better joy than to see a child walking in truth. Anyone who is a parent cannot explain the feeling of seeing there child honor God in there life and daily walk. Yet sometimes we forget what it means to God to see us living our lives as examples of truth, and Gods word. Its so easy this time of year to worry about making a lasting impression of what the Christmas season should be for our children. It is honorable for parents to want this time of year to be memorable for there children. We all want better for our children. That is not something that comes from us, this is something that was first shown to us from God. He wanted something better for us, therefore He sent his son to save us from our own sin. He wishes and hopes for us to walk in His truth. This Christmas the greatest gift you could give would be to walk in His truth. This not only honors God but will show your children that you value what God has done for you. We all learn best not only by hearing but seeing it done as well. If you wish to place an importance on the things of God let your children see you live it. Not only will this please God it will show your children, and the world Christ is not about just knowledge it is about relationship. This Christmas give a gift to God, honor Him in all you do as you celebrate His sons birth.
