Turn On The Lights!

Yes, Christmas is a time of great joy, but it also can be a time of terrible sadness. This can be a difficult season for some. They are facing dark days of disappointment, distress, doubt, and depression right now. Is this you?

Here’s the good news: Christmas isn’t the problem; Christmas is God’s solution!

Christmas brings good news for anyone struggling with dark days during this season. The truth is, God doesn’t just want to pat you on the back and say, “Cheer up.”

God wants to use your dark days to help you learn new attitudes, new choices, new thoughts, and new approaches. He doesn’t want those who are struggling to just keep going. He wants to change you.

God doesn’t just want to chase away the darkness this Christmas.

He wants to turn on the lights!

The Bible says, “It is even possible . . . for light to turn the thing it shines upon into light also” (Ephesians 5:13). When the light of God shines on my life, it changes everything. It takes me out of that pit of despair and fills me with God’s light. Through His light in me, God shines His light on others.

That’s what God wants to do through you this Christmas. God never wastes a hurt. God wants to use your pain right now to help others. But before that can happen, His light must shine on you.

Paul writes in Ephesians 5:9, “For this light within you produces only what is good and right and true”. When you allow Jesus to fill you with his Spirit, he’ll bring out the best in you—even when you’re at your worst.

You may feel overwhelmed this Christmas. You may be going through really dark days. Whether it’s disappointment, distress, or depression, you are not alone.

The good news about Christmas is that now there is a light in the world that can drive away the darkness, a light that can drive away your darkness.

Jesus—whom the Bible calls the “light of the world”—will walk with you no matter what you’re going through. Hold on to God’s promises in the book of Isaiah: “I will be with you when you pass through the waters, and when you pass through the rivers, they will not overwhelm you. You will not be scorched when you walk through the fire, and the flame will not burn you” (Isaiah 43:2).

In fact, that’s why Jesus was born. God saw our sin. God saw our pain. God saw our failures. So he came to earth as a helpless baby, as Immanuel, “God is with us.”

To not succumb to the Christmas blues, you don’t need to sing another Christmas song every few minutes. You don’t need to wear a wacky sweater daily. You don’t need to say, “Ho, ho, ho,” wherever you go. You do need to choose the light over the darkness. God shines the sun on everyone, but we can choose to live in a cave. We can choose to be blindfolded. We can refuse to look at the light. That’s on us.

Think about the first Christmas. I’m sure many people saw the same star that the wise men saw. It may have been millions and millions of people who saw an unusual light in the sky, and most people didn’t do anything about it.

But the wise men followed the light.

I don’t want to minimize whatever you’re going through this Christmas. We all have dark days, when we don’t want to get out of bed, when we would rather throw in the towel.

But as we celebrate Christmas this year, I pray you’ll do what the wise men did.

I pray you’ll follow the light because that’s where Jesus will be this Christmas.

Obedience

Father,
We thank you for the man You chose to be the earthly step-father of your son, Jesus.

We thank you for Joseph's example of obedience.
We sometimes struggle to obey.
We can be selfish and only do what we want.

But we can learn from Joseph.
Because we see that Joseph trusted You.
Joseph teaches us we need to obey You immediately and constantly.

Help us to see Joseph as an example that we can follow in our lives.
And Lord, in this Advent season, help us to better learn to obey your call in our lives.
Because, we too, know we can trust You.

In Jesus' name we pray. Amen!

Another amazing dinner to be added to Corpus Christi history. The U.S.Marines in attendance always enhance the event and provide an additional reason to be thankful.

End of times (Apocalyptic) readings can be upsetting. However, as Father Tim points out, that is not their purpose.
