The Darkness Shall Not Overtake Us

“The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overtake it.” - John 1:5

Evil may appear to be ascending.

The darkness shall not overtake us.

The callous may sit on the throne.

The darkness shall not overtake us.

We have suffered set backs and losses.

The darkness shall not overtake us.

We may grow weary from the fight.

The darkness shall not overtake us.

With our hope and faith in the power of love,

The darkness shall not overtake us.

We will place our candles on the lamp stand.

The darkness shall not overtake us.

We shield our flames from the winds of fear and hate.

The darkness shall not overtake us.

Our lights shine brightly in the darkness.

The darkness shall not overtake us.

I’m Horace McMillon. This is 60 Seconds of Hope. Merry Christmas and peace be with you.

While We Wait For Christmas

“Live lives that are self-controlled, upright, and godly, while we wait for the blessed hope and the manifestation of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ.” - from Titus 2:12-13

Our swords have not been yet beaten into plowshares. Our spears are not yet pruning hooks. The lion does not lay with the lamb. And we are still studying war. The world described by Jesus and the prophets, a world of peace and wellbeing for all has still not yet arrived.

While we wait for this new world to emerge, the writer of Titus encourages us to prepare ourselves to be citizens of such a world. We must learn to practice the self discipline and self control required for us to respond in every situation and circumstance with the integrity, faithfulness, kindness, and compassion that love requires of us.

We have a lot to learn while we wait for Christmas.

I’m Horace McMillon. This is 60 Seconds of Hope. Peace be with you.

Holding Treasure In Our Hearts

“Mary treasured all these words and pondered them in her heart.” - Luke 2:19

Mary experienced so many spectacular and extraordinary moments… The visit of the angel, her fearless decision to answer her calling, pregnancy, a new husband, and the miracle of birth.

Many of us have had moments of transcendence, where we experience the luminous. Others of us have been witnesses of the miraculous. Still others of us have had our hearts stirred and our spirits come alive in ways that are hard to put into words.

Then comes the daily grind. Mary now had baby to be cared for, meals to be prepared, a household maintained, a new marriage to navigate, and many miles to travel and places to visit, as she and Joseph struggled to find a place to call home.

Luminal moments are special and rare. They have to sustain us for a lifetime as we return to the demands of ordinary life. May we like Mary, treasure these moments and hold them in our hearts.

I’m Horace McMillon. This is 60 Seconds of Hope. Peace be with you.
