We find happiness through living the Word of life

When everyone and anyone who enters your house
experiences a deep joy and happiness,
the flood gates of your own joy and happiness are opened!
I see this when I visit folk.
Now Isaiah takes it further
and gives us the "why this should be the norm":
he writes (Ch 56) that the Lord says
"my house will be called a house of prayer for all peoples."

All people will find a joy and happiness in your home
when your house is "a house of prayer" ....
And our house becomes a house of prayer when
We find happiness through living the Word of life.

It's the same as those who encountered John the Baptist:
"John was a lamp lit and shining and for a time
you were content to enjoy the light that he gave"
(Jn 5:33-36).
Visitors saw you as a light, initially,
but they will return when they see more than your light.
When we We find happiness through living the Word of life
it is His Light that shines through us.

And this will deepen our happiness.
What an aspect of pre-Christmas preparation
we can begin to focus on,
as we prepare our houses to be homes of welcome
for this time of the year!

Stay blessed, knowing
We find happiness through living the Word of life.
