Letting God Into Your Home

You are a fun loving Christian who just have a passion for God. You know that He has given everything that you love and enjoy and you just want Him to be a constant part of your life -- especially in your home. So how do you let the spirit of God into your home? How can you possibly honor Him in your personal space?

NOTHING SAYS IT LIKE HARMONY

We all know that God isn't a fan of lying, shouting or fighting. Let harmony circulate upon your home. Resolve any conflict that lies between all the family members. Teach your kids to give to each other, tell them to teach other with their assignments and help each other out with all the household chores. As a parent it is our responsibility to hold the house together. It is hard at times especially if you are a single parent. But it is doable. Of course before you can do the talk you would first have to do the walk. Teach yourself to be harmonious too. You would have to be a great exmaple to your partner and kids first before you can lead an example.

A MUCH NEEDED SANCTUARY

Construct your very own prayer room. Select a room that will be solely dedicated to prayer and reflection. Carpet up the room and place big and soft pillows on the floor. Paint the wall with a color that relaxes you and do not enter the room without taking off your shoes and flip flops. Keep this room clean. This is your much needed sanctuary. Treat it with outmost love and respect -- as if it is the house of God; as if it were a mini church or chapel inside your home.

Set up a focal point in your prayer room. If you are a Catholic, you can use a crucifix. If you are a Muslim you can use a painting or a idol of Allah. Exercise your beliefs. Don't worry. A prayer room is interfaith. It doesn't matter what religion you are. The thought is to have a room where you can escape your busy life and just be able to be silent and pray to God about your worries.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE AND MORE LOVE

Spread love all through out your home. Love can be translated into so many things. Here are a couple of things that is vowed to transmit love all through out your home. Practice them like regimen.

1. Put up beautiful and colorful flower arrangements. Make your home beautiful.
2. Leave thoughtful and comforting love notes where your family can read them. Put something like: "Have a wonderful day darling. I love you and may God bless you today."
3. Spray a favorite scent on the air.
4. Tidy up your house and keep it clean. Remember, cleanliness is next to Godliness.
5. Teach respect. Your partner and kids will learn to repect you and respect each other if you respect them first. Again, be a great role model.

A lot Godliness has never known to fail or to downgrade anyone. And with every stress and pressure present in our actual world, this appears to be just what we need in our homes. Put God into the center of your universe by starting to let Him in your house.
