Don't count the lights your house has , but follow THE LIGHT

Luke
Chapter 13: 35

"Behold, your house is left unto you desolate: and verily I say unto you, Ye shall not see me, until the time come when ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord".

As Christmas approaches we are consumed it seems with how we stack up against our neighbors in wealth and stature. What we should be striving for is how we stand in relationship to Jesus. A million dollar home with no personal relation will leave you here on earth in a million dollar home that will disappear forever in a flash. What you are judged on and rewarded for is being close to Jesus , this is different for each of us just as each of us are different souls. But, Jesus has set some directions for us to find our way and not trying to follow them is silly. So , don't worry about the number of lights but rather how well you know the light.
