I was driving home tonight after Fuse*, and I was thinking about - as I often do during car rides - just how marvelous and wonderful my God is. I had already had a cry-fest from being overwhelmed with joy from the Lord when I started to think about the moon. Many of you know why the moon is so dear to my heart, but tonight it finally clicked. I AM the moon! And so are you!
The other day we had a full moon. Before I ever saw the full moon at night, I saw it during the day. I've always thought it was a really neat thing to be able to see the moon during the day. It puts into perspective for me just how small I am. But, tonight, it hit me. This whole concept of seeing the moon during the day and seeing it at night.
Now, I'm sure we've all seen the moon during the day at some point in our lives. It's big, white, nothing really out of the ordinary. But at night, it shines! It radiates! It lights up the sky and guides us home. You may be asking yourself at this point, "how am I the moon?" Well, I'd love to tell you.
There are two types of people in this world: lost and found. Those that are lost are the moon during the day, just a shape hanging around with not a whole lot to offer to the world other than something cool to look at. Those that are found are the moon during the night, reflecting the light of the sun, being seen as something beautiful, extravagant, and most importantly, a light in the dark.
When we are without Christ we are dead. We don't shine. We don't radiate. With Christ, we do just that. We have the ability to light up the world. We were made in the image of Christ and He is the light of the world! He is the Son. And as Christians, we are the light as well. WE ARE THE MOON! We are able to reflect Christ and show others the way to Him. We reflect His light so that the world may see who He is, so that they may know He cares for enough to light their path - even in the dark!
So, I would challenge you to really think about who you are. You are the moon, but do you reflect the Son?
