Christmas Begins with ChristSample

John 3:20 tells us people fear light because their wrong deeds will be exposed. Give thanks that Jesus is our eternal light and brings forgiveness and healing for our sins that we sometimes would prefer remain hidden and out of sight. Take time today to ask God to shine His light in to every corner of your heart and life. It is not only individually that Jesus would shine His light into but also on corporate practices of corruption and poor governance. Tearfund is campaigning for greater transparency on the significant payments made to developing countries in return for oil, gas and mineral extraction contracts. Join Tearfund's campaign called Unearth the Truth and show your solidarity with churches in poorer countries, which are often at the centre of communities standing up to corruption and poor governance - www.tearfund.org/unearth Sarah Fordham works for Integral Alliance, a global network of Christian development agencies // www.integralalliance.org
