I love the moon, it is so big and beautiful! Secretly, I always wanted to go up to that giant crater in the sky, but that will never happen. So I will have to be satisfied with simply BEING THE MOON!
You may be thinking, “Silly girl, you are obviously a human, and you can’t just become the moon.”
Of course I know that, but I heard this amazing analogy on how we all need to be the moon and it changed my life.
Just like the moon us Christians must shine our light in the darkness. The moon doesn’t create its own light but it reflects the light from the sun! We should do the same and reflect the light of the holy son, Jesus.
“Let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.”
Matthew 5:16
Sometimes our light gets a bit dim or worse something blocks it! Well the moon has the same struggle. It is up there every single night but occasionally the dark clouds consume the moon's light and we are unable to see its.
Do you ever just feel like you are doing your best to shine but darkness keeps trying to block your light? If your a christian then you have felt that way a time or two, but don't give up. The moon doesn't so neither should you!
The clouds aren’t the only obstacle the moon has to face head on, the earth is a major hindrance to the bright moon. Like the moon the earth or world things come in the picture and try to block our light, the light of God.
I challenge you to BE THE MOON at home, on your campus or wherever you go because we must shine in the darkness.
