See the Light
“I see it!” I see the light!” When my brother was little, he loved lights. That was especially true at Christmas.
I share that love. Nighttime drives to view Christmas lights remain a favorite activity. They fill me with peace and joy.
To see the light means to finally understand or accept something.
Its meaning becomes clear. Until then, we may:
- Think or wonder about an issue
- Feel confused by it
- Doubt it
- Reject it
When we see the light, we change.
Understanding or accepting a new idea or belief affects our feelings and actions. We turn away from our previous behavior. We realize we have found a better way.
The Wise Men in the Christmas story searched for the light.
When they finally saw the star in the east, they followed it until they found Jesus.
To see the light often means to believe – to have a religious experience.
Such faith makes all the difference. The song, “I Have Seen the Light,” offers a beautiful description of that event.
Have you seen the light? If not, search for it today. If you have seen it, don’t leave others in the dark. Share the light of God’s love with them.
“When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy” (Matthew 2:10 KJV).

Merry Christmas! I pray we all will see the Light.
Amen, Melissa. Merry Christmas!
Did you see Jupiter and Saturn converged last night? Nothing compared to what the Wise Men saw! Beautiful thoughts, Diana!
Thank you, Tracy. I did see the planets converge. With binoculars, I could see the two. However, I preferred the one Christmas Star idea.
