December has arrived and Christmas decorations are starting to appear throughout the town. Christmas lights are especially beautiful at night-time as they shine brightly in the midst of the dark evening.
We can say the same thing about our lives when we are at our darkest point in life, it is a beautiful thing to see Christ’s light shine through us to encourage and strengthen us. You see, Jesus Christ is the Light of the World! John 8:12 tells us: Then Jesus again spoke to them, saying, “I am the Light of the world; he who follows Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life.”
It has been a very difficult year and we can all use a little Christmas cheer right now. My friend, when you see the beautiful Christmas lights, stop and reflect knowing that Jesus is with you to brighten your way. He is with you through the good times as well as the bad. He never sleeps and is waiting to commune with you, to encourage and strengthen you in your Christian walk.
Christ’s light shines bright in our darkest times! Thank you Lord Jesus for being with me through the tough times!
