Last night our valley was illuminated in a spectacular way by the latest “supermoon”. The moonlight reflecting off the snow lit up the surrounding fields, driving the darkness into hiding. It was so bright the light coming in our bedroom window woke Ana in the middle of the night.
A day is coming when, “The sun will no more be your light by day, nor will the brightness of the moon shine on you, for the Lord will be your everlasting light, and your God will be your glory.” Isaiah 60:19 NIV.
I can’t wait for that day to come, but until then we have a work to do. We are each called to “reflect the glory of the Lord” as “the Lord…makes us more and more like him as we are changed into his glorious image.” (2 Corinthians 3:18)
The moon has no light of its own, but merely reflects the sun. Likewise, you and I were put on this planet to do the same, to reflect the Son. If we let Jesus have free reign in our lives then, when people look at you and I, they will see a reflection of Jesus, with no element of self to cloud the view.
This world has enough darkness. Let’s each choose to “reflect the glory of the Lord” by what we say and do. Let’s let Jesus’ love shine from us, lighting the way for others through the dark valleys of life, so they too can find their way safely home to His arms.
God bless, have a wonderful day, and, in all you do, do what you were made to do – reflect the Son!
