My Journey to God

Light of the World

This is the story of
how Jesus became
the Light of the World.
It all began with a Father’s love.
And although God had already done
some pretty amazing things,
like telling the Earth to spin in motion,
creating oceans, and
setting rates and rhythms for every
breath and heartbeat still yet to come,
it was after sin entered in
that God did His most amazing thing.
Where one night in Bethlehem,
under starry, starry skies,
God made good on His promise—
God always does—
And so He bent down, smiled and
whispered softly to His newborn Son,
“Shine! Shine! Shine!”
And, from that day on,
that is exactly
what Jesus did.
