Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.
James 1:17 (NIV)
The Christmas season is already upon us. We’ve all been busy with gift-buying and planning our perfect holiday celebration. Let’s take a moment to remember who Christmas is really all about and try to be someone’s Christmas light.
We can be someone’s Christmas light in so many ways. Our mere presence is a light for those we love. Make a point to notice and acknowledge them. Letting our own light shine gives others permission to do the same. We can all illuminate each other’s gifts and talents and by doing so, allow them to really sparkle.
So NOTICE and ACKNOWKEDGE!
In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.
Matthew 5:16 (NIV)
Always remember that our light comes from Jesus, whose birthday we celebrate at Christmas. It is His presence in our life that allows us to be a light to those around us. So let’s keep our hearts focused on our savior during this holy time of year. He is with us ALWAYS.
Then your light will break forth like the dawn, ….. then your righteousness will go before you, and the glory of the Lord will be your rear guard.
Isaiah 58:8 (NIV)
We can indeed be someone’s Christmas light! Think of those we can take time to notice that are not on our regular radar. Our acknowledgement may be just the spark they need to keep going forward.
Everyone please have a blessed and holy Christmas! See you in 2025!
