Matthew 5:16 says "Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your Father who is in Heaven." As we honor Hanukkah we are saying Jesus IS the Light of the World!!!

When we cleave to Him we are embracing the Tree of Life, getting back what was lost! We are the Bride, the overcomers who remember their first love, the living flames of love who
