In Sunday school last week our teacher brought up a parallel that I had never seen before... I've been thinking about it all week and thought you all might enjoy it as well (if you haven't already heard it :]).

"Phases of the Moon"
Found on Pinterest |
The moon reflects the light of the sun. However as the planets rotate the earth blocks part of the sun from the moon and the light the moon is able to reflect changes. (yes there are more scientific ways of saying this and exactly how it all works, but that is not the point here :})
So here is the parallel...
We as Christians are supposed to reflect the light of the SON. However as the things of earth come into our life our ability to reflect the SON diminishes.
Our teacher asked us a few questions, "How much of the world do we allow in our life? How well are able to reflect the SON with the influences of the world that we have allowed in? Are we full moons, half moons, or quarter moons? What would you like to be?"
I love this! Do you think your teacher would mind if I used it as an illustration with my class of H.S. girls? Thank you for sharing! I want to be a full moon!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure she would love to have you share it with other young ladies :) Thanks for asking :)
