The sun was shining brightly not long ago but now the grey clouds of winter have once again come and stifled out the warmth. It was so nice to stand outside just basking in the light and feeling its warmth on my skin. Now it just seems sadder out.
I wonder if that is how God sees us, those who call ourselves by His Sons name. Jesus Christ, the SON of God is shining beautifully and brightly allowing us to be warmed by His presence but then we come along and blanket it with our own clouds; clouds of fear, distrust, envy, anger, lust, selfishness and pride.
We are called to show the world the light of Christ that is inside of us. Are we allowing the clouds in our lives to stifle the light or are we allowing the Son to burst through even the darkest skies?
What is amazing to me is that some of the most spectacular showings of the sun happen when many storm clouds are present. I imagine the same is true of the SON. God’s more spectacular showings appear in our storm clouds. Will we let Him shine through?
