Renovation of the Heart in Daily Practice: Chapter 53

The title of the chapter gives us some direction…”What Children of Light are Like.”

1. No hesitation to do what’s right. It’s not a deliberation to possibly do what they know to be wrong.

2. Avoiding paths of temptation and poised to do right without thinking. Moral decisions have moved beyond knowing right/wrong and into the world of instinct to choose the right without having to think about it much.

3. A level of transparency rooted in a lack of need to conceal their thoughts and feelings OR the need to manipulate and manage others.

4. When found to be wrong, there is no need to defend themselves. The offer of an apology becomes an easier task. We are justified through grace this grace that overwhelms a soul should become easy to dispense as well.

5. Children of light should be easy to deal with. There is no need to guess what type of game someone is playing or how someone is just trying to manipulate me. This is my favorite quality of my wife. Her acts of love are 100% genuine with no hidden agenda anywhere to be found. What a great gift.

There is a very tangible part of moving into a heart renovated by the love of God. For the many ways I’ve witnessed that in the lives of others, it’s a beautiful thing!!
