Light of the World
Merry CHRISTmas Ya'll!
This is a devotion I get in my email daily, and I couldn't have said this any better myself, so I'm copying and pasting today! Hope everyone has a Merry CHRISTmas, and remembers the true meaning!

Light of the World
Melanie Chitwood
"This is the message we have heard from Him and announce to you, that God is Light, and in Him there is no darkness at all." 1 John 1:5 (NAS)
Devotion:
Everywhere I look this time of year, I see lights: flashy lights adorning the mall and streets, the steady glow of candlelight during our Christmas Eve service, and the dazzling lights of outside decorations. Of all the lights at Christmas, however, I am most drawn to the white, twinkly lights on our Christmas tree.
A tradition I've enjoyed for years is to sit in my favorite chair in the darkened living room with only the illumination of the Christmas trees lights. I let the trees' lights remind me of the brightest light of all, Jesus Christ.
The Bible includes numerous references to light. As you read these verses, think about how Christ has been a light this past year, or think about what kind of light you need this Christmas season. Let Christ's light chase away any darkness as you bathe in the splendor of His light.
As the creator of light, allow God to create light in your life. (Genesis 1:3)
When you are fearful, let His light make you brave. (Psalm 27:1)
If you need direction, His light will show you the way. (Psalm 119:105)
When you are in a difficult situation, God's light makes the rough places smooth. (Isaiah 42:16)
Do you feel ashamed or guilty? Accept Christ's light of forgiveness. (John 3:19)
Chase away the darkness of hopelessness, loneliness, despair, aimlessness,
confusion, hurt, or anger as you follow Christ, the Light of life. (John 8:12)
Be a witness to Christ's light by the way you live your life. (Matthew 5:16)
Dear Lord, Thank You for Your Light. Renew my hope, joy, and trust in You, as all the Christmas lights remind me that You are the Light of the world. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
