2 P&P Blog for week of 5-11 August 2023
This week’s full moon was beautiful in its clear, white luminosity. Set against a blue-black sky, it shone majestically. As I took my photograph—I saw a reflection against the glass. But instead of seeing a “mistake,” I saw this lovely orb as God’s artistry and a metaphor for how each of His children can emulate Him.
Notice a few things?
The reflection is paler by contrast.
Is it smaller?
It’s nearly touching.
Now how do they apply spiritually?
We will never be perfect, sinless, as Jesus was—yet His Word gives us commands and directives to live by to teach us how to follow His ways.
As He increases in us, we decrease.
To emulate Jesus, we must maintain contact and communion with Him.
I love capturing interesting things in God’s creations like this because they help me treasure the ways that He’s reaching out to us, to all of mankind, with HIs light, with His love. And I cherish knowing that He’s always watching over us—available to listen, hear our questions, requests, or praise—simply because He is our Abba Daddy.
I hope you know you’re held in God’s love tonight. Draw near and rest. He’s got you. Let Jesus shine His peace into your heart. Then trust Him as you live in the shadow of His care.
To gain a closer Reflection of Jesus: 1 Corinthians 11:1, John 3:30, John 15:4-5, Psalm 91:1, Psalm 36:7, Hebrews 11:6
Lord, let me be a shadow of You—emulating Your love, heart, compassion, peace, and joy. I’m staying right by Your side, Jesus. Teach me and transform me into a closer reflection of Your character by day and by night, I pray. Amen.
