As brilliant as the moon looks in the night
sky, it has no light of its own. The
light we experience from the moon is a reflection of the sun’s light. Likewise we have no true light of our
own. God is our sun. We are the moon, reflecting His light, His
image in us.
The
moon is a reflection of the sun, yet it does not take on the same appearance as
the sun. So it is with us being a shadow
or image of God’s characteristics. When
God breathed into man, He breathed into him His character, intention, purpose
and destiny.
When the moon is what we call “full” the sun
has an unobstructed view of the moon so its light shines directly on the
moon. When the moon turns away from the
sun and the Earth gets in the path of the moon and the sun, we can only see
portions of the moon. In the same way
when we turn away from God and let stuff get in between us and God, only a part
of His light is reflected on us, making His image in us dark and hard to see or
decipher.
