CHRISTMAS LIGHT

Since the dawn of human history, we have sought the LIGHT and feared the darkness.  Darkness was full of danger and unimaginable predators.  LIGHT warded off the evils and illuminated the dangers. 

A satellite view of the earth is bejeweled with crystalline glimmers from nearly every corner. Humans incessantly seek to conquer the darkness with LIGHT.

 LIGHTs are everywhere we look at Christmas time—festive, sparkling, multicolored—they decorate the darkness.  But, with LIGHT so ubiquitous, have we lost our appreciation for it?  The third verse of the Bible reads: “And God said ‘Let there be LIGHT, and there was LIGHT’.”  LIGHT is a divine gift directly from God to us. Jesus himself said, “I am the way, the truth, and the LIGHT.”

Let me be forever reminded that the precious gift of LIGHT is now mine.  It took me a lifetime in darkness to see it, but it was there for the asking.
