Day 19: Be Enlightened

Writer: JoniJoni

The sun is bleeding through the sky as if the day depended on it.

It is pushing so hard that its colors are taking over.

It is so supernatural,

that seeing it

is like it is the first time.

And then the sun will take over,

and the sunscreen will be put on,

and the sunglasses will cover the eyes,

as its beaming light will erase the darkness.

And then before you know it

the sun will start to pull its colors away,

so that the moon will have the stage.

But the sun & moon are working together,

as they provide the light that never goes out.

What if the sun wanted to take center stage at night

and said to the moon,

"I am the light".

What if the moon wanted to stay up all night

so that it could be the main attraction and greet the world in the morning

and respond back to the sun,

"I am the light".

I bet there would be no light.

But what if another

VOICE

broke through the

 sun & moon's

bickering

and

bled all over the earth

and said~

“I am the LIGHT of the world..."*

Would the sun stop & would the moon stop

striving to be

SEEN,

even though they believe their role is so important?

As there is only one sun and only one moon

and only one you,

who are all part of something so big,

so that when "they" step aside

and when you & I step aside

we become so

ENLIGHTENED

because we are

part of a bigger story.

As it isn't about

who casts the most light,

because there is ONLY ONE who is the LIGHT

that does so much more

then making day day

or night or night~

"Whoever follows ME will not walk in darkness,

but will have the LIGHT of life" (John 8:12).

Because IN CHRIST there is no darkness

and HIS LIGHT 

never goes out.

Oh step aside sun.

Oh step aside moon.

Oh step aside you & me & everyone else

and take the place of second,

for we are all part of a bigger story,

yet all play a part,

because if we all

made it about ourselves

would there be any room

to RECEIVE the LIGHT

that LIGHTS up our hearts

one by one by one,

so that we become

HIS little beacons

just because we embraced the

TRUE LIGHT

that never goes out.

For HIS LIGHT

pushes out the darkness in us.

Oh CHRISTMAS IN JULY.

"IMMANUEL",

 GOD IS WITH US,

and HIS NAME IS JESUS~

THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD.

So move over darkness.

Let HIS LIGHT shine through you,

as you absorb HIS LIGHT

in your heart and mind,

so that it overwhelms the darkness

and never goes out.

Sunrise Sunset.

Moonrise. Moonset.

Always providing the light needed to light the skies

JESUS,

always providing the LIGHT needed to LIGHT up the darkness of the world,

because HE is THE LIGHT~

(John 8:12)

 CHRISTMAS IN JULY~

BE ENLIGHTENED

and

"BE A LIGHT"
