Moon’s dusty ashen surface
No inner light of thine
Yet you beam sun’s reflection
In darkness you can shine
Dark clouds release the heavens
Cleansing all below
But not without the light
Shines hue of God’s rainbow
Down in deepest well
Lights in sky around
They can’t be seen in daylight
Well’s depths where stars are found
No matter where you are
In valleys or on hill
You can glow in darkness
His brilliant light shines still
Written by Vivian Joy
Beautifully written, Vivian! Very symbolic of Romans 8:38-39.

Thanks so much John!
Romans 8:38-39Β King James Version (KJV)
38Β For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
39Β Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Yes, me too! I was also thinking of the song sung as a child, “This Little light of Mine”…….let it shine, let it shine, let it shine…πΆπΆ

The moon is like us, we’re to reflect the light of God. We have no light of our own. And without God’s light, we’re in complete darkness. And we go through phases! π

My pleasure Nitin! βΊ God was merciful in that hours after our city declared a STATE OF EMERGENCY the Hurricane miraculously turned and we were spared!! Minor flooding, winds and heavy rain was all we dealt with and our power stayed on…..so far. More heavy rains today but I feel the worst is over. May God be praised!! Amen.
