“The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.”
John 1:5 (NIV)
LIGHT IN THE JOURNEY
Mary and Joseph’s journey to Bethlehem was physically exhausting and emotionally draining. Yet each step was leading them closer to the arrival of Light itself, Jesus. Sometimes the hardest seasons we walk through are the very ones where God is bringing us something new and something radiant. When the path feels dark, whether parenting challenges, emotional burdens, or fear of the future, be reminded that Jesus is already on His way. He sees the big picture, not just the trial that lies in front of you.
I pray today that you would shine your light into every building, school, community center, and office space you come into contact with. May we be reminded that, although we cannot see the full picture, the small part we are walking through will be used for His glory.
