I was getting ready for work this morning( Monday 21-08) the moon light was so near and so bright. I love  looking at the moon. It draws me close to my Creator, a time for prayer, sweet solitude, a fellowship so quite and peaceful. In Genesis 3: 8, it says that God likes to walk in the cool of the day. Well, I always believed this is sometime after the sun as long set, into the wee hours of the morning. I use to walk Montana in the " cool " morning hours before work. It is something I cherish and miss. Well, getting back to the purpose of writing this blog, as I watched the moon while driving down a country road, I remember looking at a picture of the moon from NASA, it was a very detaled , close up. It looked dusty, dry, and pitted, and cold  and well...dark. But then here I am driving at night/morning hours and here is that same dark, dusty, pitted moon...the only difference...it's brightly shinning, giving light to the darkness of my surroundings. Now God said in Genesis 1:16 that He made two great lights, one to rule the day, and the lesser to rule the night....now I am no rocket scientist, but from what I remember learning somehow  the moon , dusty and pitted, actually reflects the sun's light ( that's another blog for someone more knoweledgable than me to write ), then as I enjoyed my morning with the moon and my Creator, this " word" came to me, as this moon God created to reflect the sun's light to give light to the earth in times of darkness, so I must in the same manner reflect the light of my Creator, to be God-like, to give Jesus, the True Light of the world, to those who walk in spiritual darkness. I was humbled by the responsiability of that calling and  and felt so inadequate. I said " Oh Jesus, do more a work of grace in me. make me more like you and less of me." and so my prayer went on. Oh I see so much fault in me. how so I need to grow more and more to be like Jesus, and wonder " will I ever get there?" And then I realize it is a day to day , life long process. Just look how far I've come since I was three years old. God truly is a patient One. And I realize I'm still " under construction". Completion...what a beautiful word...and something to look forward to. You all have a beautifully moon-light morning.
