I See the Moon

“Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.” Matthew 5:16

I see the moon shining bright, through the darkness of the night. But if it weren’t for the sun there would be no light. As it glows in the black sky, it takes the radiance of the sun on high to reveal the moons true beauty to the beholding eye. What disaster would occur and devestation would concur if the moon left the way and from the sun did stray! I see the moon shining bright and hear the lesson God is teaching me tonight. In life, Jesus is the Son and the Light and in this world is darkness. It is by His power that my life can shine. The glory is His and not mine. Jesus is the truth and He tells me that beauty is more than meets the eye, and as i allow others to see the flaws in me they will see how great the Son’s power can be. Jesus is the Way. With Him i must stay or darkness will fill my days. I see the moon shining bright and thank God for brining to my sight this illustration of the Son’s awesome light and how i am to be a reflection that others might also see.


“Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.’” John 14:6

To the Dreamer

What is the thing you desire that consumes your every waking thought and makes sleep difficult? What is it that fills your heart with passion? What stirs your emotions so deeply that you think you might explode? Is it a dream you have only just begun to allow yourself to dream? Maybe you’ve always had the potential but did not recognize it. Maybe you were told not to dream so you hid it away but that dream was just beneath the surface calling out to be set free. You supressed it for so long for so long that in time you forgot that dream and wondered what was that nagging in your soul. On the outside you would smile and hope no one would notice the tears. Then you got tired of the mask and wondered what life would be without it. The desire for change became greater than the fear of the unknown so you stepped into the light and began to remove the mask. At times you remembered your scars and wanted to cover up again. But it was your dream that made you put the mask back down. Without the mask you could see more clearly the truth you could not see before. The light was Christ and God was the One who gave you your dream. Free to dream you set out to be the dreamer God created you to be. So why now you worry and fret? What God has given as a gift you have allowed to become a burden. Your best intentions have become your worst nightmare because God did not expect you to be perfect, you put that unrealistic expectation on yourself. Just let God direct your steps, beautiful dreamer, and He will make the dreams He gave you come true
