Welcoming the True Light
My dear son,
I sent the true light to shine upon the world. People failed to recognize that light, and some would not welcome it. Yet the love that came near to dark places did not give up or turn away.
I hope you will open your heart before that light. Rather than holding only to what you think you already know, take time to discover who Jesus is. Do not keep the love that shines upon you at a distance.
Bring your thoughts and your day into my light tonight. You can bring both what makes you glad and what you would rather conceal. I am your Father, and I want you to welcome the true light and live with honesty and warmth.
With all my love,
Your Father
John 1:9–11
WEB9The true light that enlightens everyone was coming into the world.
10He was in the world, and the world was made through him, and the world didn’t recognize him.
11He came to his own, and those who were his own didn’t receive him.
A short reflection
John testifies that the true light came into the world, but the world made through him did not recognize him, and his own people did not receive him.
