Lord, I needed a word, a fresh word, and I couldn’t really hear a thing, Pete has the TV on in here, there is really nowhere else to go. And then our Sheltie asked me to take her out. So I go to the door, and there is the nearly full moon, rising through the trees. And it is beautiful.
And what is the first thing you thought of, when the moon rose?
I thought of how it reflects the sunlight. It doesn’t shine of itself. Then I thought of how we notice the full moon, and how the moon shines brightest, and fullest, as the sun is setting, or just going down, or the night is fully dark.
That is you—that is human’s call, to take My Light, and shine it out in beauty and color, whether over mountains or seas, whether through fog or on snow, whatever the season, month after month. Your moon waxes and wanes. Truthfully, you do, too. You won’t fully realize all I made you to be until you unite fully with Me. You tire, you get discouraged, you need forgiveness, you need to forgive others. You need to be refreshed and you in turn refresh others. That is not a failing, as you suppose, but a reality of being human.
The beauty you are and share is that you are willing to continue to shine, to reflect My Light, to keep your face, as the moon does, turned towards My life and towards your whole planet, in an attitude of compassion and peace.
Thank You, Lord. A timely word, just what I needed. Thank You.
I Am the Word, so I will always, always, have a Word. For tonight, consider moonlight as a metaphor for My working in your life.
