Christmas Lights
Christmas lights brighten our homes and our
hearts. The glow from outdoor lighting accentuates
the street and brings cheer to the neighborhood. Cars back up for blocks in certain areas of
the city to view elaborate, over the top homes decorated and draped with hundreds
of strung lights. The lights are best
seen in the darkness. Although, the sun
has gone down, the lights provide the illumination needed to see the pathway
ahead. Christmas lights can warm your
heart when the sun is nowhere to be found.
Someone somewhere will be looking for lights this Christmas.
Matthew 5:14-16
14 “You
are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.15 Nor
do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it
gives light to all who are in the house. 16 Let
your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify
your Father in heaven.
Christmas is a joyous season, but not for
everyone. This can be a dark time of
year for those who do not know the Christ child, for those living far away from
home, for those who are grieving and for those who will spend another Christmas
alone. You are that light they will be
searching for to illuminate the path to the Christ child, to lessen the pain of
losing their loved one(s) or to be invited to join in the festivities at your
house. Be a shining light on your street
and in your neighborhood so that your works inspire others to glorify God. The light crowds seek this Christmas is the
One they see in you.
