Be Like Rudolph. Let Your Light Shine.
In just a few hours, I’ll be heading to the airport to fly to Seattle to be with my Washington family. I’ll be joining the multitudes that are crowding into airports, shopping malls, restaurants and onto the highways this week of Christmas.
Maybe people are crowding into your home, your schedule, and your plans. What a great opportunity we have to STAND OUT in the crowds. Every face in every crowd has either received the gift of “the light of the world” or they haven’t. Jesus coming to this earth is that LIGHT. And, we are that LIGHT, too! That’s what Jesus said, “You are the LIGHT of the world…..” the LIGHT that this world needs right now so very much. We can be a LIGHT today to everyone we encounter. When the lines are long and the crowds are angry or frustrated, we can be different — and we can be THE DIFFERENCE MAKER for others. Our smile will be noticed. Our joy will be contagious. Our peace will be coveted. Our kindness will be appreciated. And the Christ of Christmas will be glorified and revealed in our character and demeanor. Let’s pray for the opportunity to be that LIGHT today.
Jesus is the light of the world, through us. Let’s shine brightly today in every crowd.
