When Your Longing and Looking for Goodness and Light
On some nights, I lay in bed unable to sleep. I am afraid of the dark. Not the kind where the lights go out, but a prevailing blackness that trickles down into my mind and seeks to wrap itself around my heart.
As soon as my head hits the pillow, the dark images cloud my view.
I can’t tell you how many nights I’ve struggled to fall asleep as I imagined the worse case scenario. As I lay in my jammies safe under the covers, I will picture myself on my deathbed.
Perhaps you’ve had a sleepless night or two this year. I don’t know what nightmare disrupts your slumber, but you probably have longed for daylight at least once or twice.
I guess that’s why I love Christmas so much. It’s the twinkle of the shimmery lights on the tree.
The tiny flickers of light remind me there is always hope. God’s glory can break through any temporary shadow the enemy may seek to cast over my life.
Jesus, the Light of the World, is alive and at work in our world.
We don’t need to fear the increasing darkness. One day, He will speak but a word and wipe out all wickedness.
He will bring us goodness and light, my friend.
Jesus still brings His goodness and light today.

So, if like me, you are feeling gloomy this Christmas, I want to encourage you to rise up and remember how His redemption rescued you from the pit of hell.
Rise up and remember His goodness.
No situation is too dark for God’s salvation to shine through if you look to the Light.
Let the light of His love fill your life with peace and joy this December.

As we countdown to Christmas, let’s begin our day by surrendering our hearts to God’s plans for this season by echoing the prayer of Mary in Luke 1:38 (NET):
I am a servant of the Lord; let this happen to me according to Your word.
