At Christmas, we celebrate a light that entered the world—but just as powerfully, a light that was placed within us.
“Nothing can dim the light which shines from within.” ~ Maya Angelou
Reflection
Christmas reminds us that light does not arrive to overpower darkness but to quietly outshine it. Maya Angelou’s words echo the heart of the Christmas story: a divine light born into humility, resilience, and hope. The Christ child brought light into a weary world, and that same light now lives within us—steady, undimmable, and enduring. Circumstances may challenge us, losses may weigh heavy, and shadows may linger, but the inner light remains untouched. At Christmas, we are invited not only to admire the light but to become its carriers—reflecting love, compassion, and hope wherever we go.
