Live your life in a prepared manner, your lights burning brightly; like those servants who wait with expectancy for the sound of the Lord’s approaching.
It is easier for heaven and earth to pass away, than for one of these words to fail."
--Jesus
After reading these words of Jesus, I turned on my Christmas tree lights...
Oh, so you don't think that's what He means by letting "your lights burn brightly?"
Silly you say?
Maybe. Maybe not. The vast array of Christmas lights and decorations, whatever the motivation - commercialism, paganism or real reverence - is a cheerful reminder that humanity deeply longs for something science can never give: Hope in The Unseen Hand that Heals and Helps us Heavenward.
Emmanuel.
God With Us.
God Like Us.
We like God.
Oneness in Sacrificial love and giving.
"If the joy that alone makes life worth living, the joy that God our Maker is just like Christ, if it be a true thing in my heart, how can I not believe in Christmas?"
(adapted from a quote by George MacDonald)
For unto us a child is given, to us a King with the heart of childlike obedience and love! Until we can celebrate His physical return, this world-wide yearly return to the celebration of His birth is a grand reminder that love is the greatest gift of all!
A Merry Light-Filled Christmas to you!
