reflection

Tuesday March 4^th, 2 Peter 1:  19 Because of that experience, we have even greater confidence in the message proclaimed by the prophets. You must pay close attention to what they wrote, for their words are like a lamp shining in a dark place—until the Day dawns, and Christ the Morning Star shines in your hearts. Sometimes the message of God’s love has been proclaimed by the prophets, sometimes by the saints in our lives, sometimes by aunts and uncles, parents and children, friends or strangers, but through it, you know that at that moment it is God who is speaking to your heart.  In the darkness that sometimes invades our lives, the simple illumination is sufficient and you can find your way.  What you find your way to is the light of Christ, the Morning Start that brings hope after a long night of darkness of our soul.  Listen to the words of the children of God in times of your darkness.  Be the words of God for others in the midst of their darkness.  Even if the light we shine is only the dimness of the reflected light of Christ, the light of the Morning Star can bring hope to a heart in need.
