The Gifts of the Holy Days

I recognize that there is One Life, One Light, One Infinite Presence that has forever revealed Itself as Love, Wisdom, and Peace. This Presence is the Source of all creation and the Eternal Light that outshines every seeming darkness. It is the Radiance that lifts us, guides us, warms us, and blesses all beings everywhere.

Knowing this, I know that this same Light lives in me—unchangeable, unextinguishable, and ever-renewing. As the earth turns toward the promise of longer days, so too do I turn toward the Light within me. I am a place where Spirit shines. I am an open vessel for the gifts of this sacred season.

And in this consciousness, I speak this Word for myself and for all who join in this Holy Day journey:

I accept the Gift of Joy.
Joy is the natural radiance of Spirit expressing through me. It bubbles up without condition, without limit, without needing permission. It fills my heart, brightens my mind, and spills into my life as delight, gratitude, laughter, and the simple wonder of being alive.

I accept the Gift of Power.

 

Not power over, but the inner Power of—the power of Presence, the power of Truth, the power of Divine Intelligence acting as me. In this season of long nights, I claim my spiritual authority to choose love over fear, compassion over reaction, clarity over confusion. The Light of God within me is mighty, steady, and sure.

I accept the Gift of Peace.
Peace is my home. It is the still center that remains untouched by outer circumstance. As candles are lit across the world—Bodhi Day’s illumination, Hanukkah’s dedication, Kwanzaa’s unity, Christmas’ birth of love—I affirm that the same Peace that inspired these holy traditions lives in every heart. It is rising now, calming every storm, soothing every ache, and blessing every step of our collective journey.

In this sacred December, I affirm that humanity is moving from any shadow of separation into the dawning light of Oneness. The Holy Days are alive in us—alive as Joy, alive as Power, alive as Peace. These gifts are already ours, freely given, eternally unfolding.

And so, I release these Words into the perfect Law, knowing it is already done, already complete, already shining. I celebrate the fulfillment of this Truth.

And so, it is.
