Rejected light
Image via Wikipedia
“Rejected light is the parent of the densest darkness, and the man who, having the light, does not trust it, piles around himself thick clouds of obscurity and gloom.
Amazingly, we tend to forget that light is the source of strength, even me at times. The world events, personal struggles, and challenges often leave me wondering is there any hope? Yes comes the answer over and over again each morning for the last 50+ years of this life on earth.
And yet, fear (false evidence appearing real) creeps in and reminds me of those issues that were left behind, trying to provoke a response in the new day before me. If this is you, take time to remember that you cannot change yesterday, today well that is up to you with hope and peace in front of you tomorrow.
The great invitation of Christmas is to open our hearts to the Savior who came to end our darkness. Jesus said, “While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become sons of light. . . . I have come as a light into the world, that whoever believes in Me should not abide in darkness” (John 12:36,46).
