As I look forward to Christmas day, at times I find that the
Christmas spirit may have taken a back burner to the true
meaning of the Birth of Jesus the Christ. Since the end of
October Christmas music has invaded our hearing and
stores are filled with Christmas decorations. It is almost
overkill on the material things, pushing aside what the
True meaning of Christmas, which seems to be lost.
I remember a time I completely lost the Christmas spirit.
In some circles it can be known as The Dark Night of the
Soul. Even though I knew the Truth of my being, that
knowledge was in my head where my thoughts and
feelings had taken up residence. Yet, beyond the deluge
of commercials sending a message that this toy or this
piece jewelry was the only way for your loved one to be
happy, I did find my silver lining.
I began to draw my attention from my head to my heart.
I focused on my Power of Peace, and slowly that light of
understanding filled my heart with Love. When I
understood that of all the Powers that are mine by Divine
Right, the Power of Love is the thread that holds
everything in Order. Do I go through Christmas joyfully
each year? No, but when I feel that Dark Night of the Soul
creeping back, I can use my power of Faith to fill my heart
with Love and shift my thinking back to the right path. I
am a child of wonder, and I can choose how to let my
Christ Light shine. And as I know this Truth for me, I Know
that this is a Truth of you, Dear Reader. So, just as the
Christ was born on Christmas to show the way, may the
Christ in you be born this Christmas to shine the Light of
Love throughout the Universe.
