Light Breaks Through
By Rev. Dr. Lael C. Melville
Darkness can be loud. It can press in, echo in our thoughts, and try to convince us it has the final say. But here is the truth Advent insists we remember. Darkness never wins.
Christ came as light for a reason. Light does not argue with darkness. Light does not ask for permission or wait for the right conditions. It simply shows up… and everything shifts.
This is how Jesus comes to us.
Quietly. Faithfully. Powerfully.
In the moments when heaviness tries to settle in. In the moments when fear whispers its lies. In the moments when the waiting feels longer than our strength. His light still breaks through.
And here is the good news you can hold today. Light wins every single time. Even the smallest glimmer is enough to remind you that God is present, God is working, and God is not finished.
If your season feels dim or slow or uncertain, you do not have to rush it. Just look for the light. Christ always steps into the places we need Him most. And when He steps in, darkness has to back up.
Scripture anchors this truth in our hearts.
“The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.” John 1:5.
A Prayer for Today
Lord, shine Your light on every heavy place in my mind and heart. Let Your presence quiet the noise of fear and lift the weight that settles on my spirit. Where I feel unsure, bring clarity. Where I feel weary, bring strength. Where I feel alone, remind me that You are already here, breaking through, leading me, and lighting every step. Help me walk in confidence, knowing that Your light cannot be stopped. Amen.
Action Step
Light a candle or lamp tonight and whisper, “Jesus, thank You for being my light.”
Let the glow remind you that the darkness around you is not stronger than the light within you.
