Glorious Light!

The true light, which gives light to everyone, was coming into the world. He was in the world, and the world was made through him, yet the world did not know him. He came to his own, and his own people did not receive him. But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God, who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.
And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.
(John 1:9-14 ESV)
The light of the star.The brilliance of the angelic host.  Both lit up the sky that night.  But the brightest Light lay in the manger.  HE is true light, pure light, the source of all light. When one comes into contact with Him, the impact is overwhelming - we must choose Light or flight.  We can come and see and bow down and go ahead changed, or we can glimpse and go away cold, hard, foolish.  May the Light shine bright in our hearts and homes today.
