Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. (Matthew 5:16)
 
Even with twinkling lights all around, it’s easy to miss the light inside of us. May we welcome the light of God to shine within us and through us, spreading to everyone we encounter.
 
Lord, I want to see more than the gifts and decorations around me. I want to see Your light shine in every part of my heart. Fill me with Your light, and help me share it with those around me. Amen
 
I hope and pray you are encouraged to share His light with those around you, even those who are rude, angry or seem to have lost all hope. Be The Light we all desperately need. If we all shine together we will outshine the darkness that so easily makes its way into our world. Allow Christ to fill you with His light.
 
Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. (John 8:12)
 
Have a beautiful and uplifting day in The Lord!
 
Merry Christmas!

Reflect The Light

Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. (John 8:12)

The first Christmas “light-up” ever was not created by electrical cables, glitter, and neon lights but by “the glory of the Lord [that] shone around” (Luke 2:9). No tourists saw it, just a few simple shepherds out in their field. And it was followed by an unexpected rendition of “Glory to God in the Highest” by an angelic choir (v. 14).

The shepherds went to Bethlehem to see if what the angels said was true (v. 15). After they had confirmed it, they could not keep to themselves what they had heard and seen. “And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child” (v. 17).

Many of us have heard the Christmas story often. This Christmas, why not share the good news with others that Christ—“the light of the world”—has come (John 8:12).

Lord, help me this Christmas to reflect the light of Your presence and goodness to others. Amen.

I recently read this and I wanted to share it because I pray this Holiday season we show others the true meaning of Christmas and what it’s truly about, Christ our Savior. May we reflect the light of His presence and goodness to others in what we say and do.

Have a wonderful day in The Lord!

Today’s Reading is John 8:12-20
