“Then the righteous will
answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give
you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite
you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in
prison and go to visit you?’
“The King will reply,
‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and
sisters of mine, you did for me.’ Matthew
25: 37-40 (NIV)
A double sun astonished me. Rising
mist and tiny ripples distorted one of them changing it from a perfect circle
to a free form shape. Its varying light, though bright, didn’t hurt my
eyes.
However, when I tried to stare at
the real sun, my eyes hurt from the intense brilliance. As it rose in the sky,
the reflection followed its path.
The reflection on the lake could
only shine when connected to its source. When the trees blocked the light, it
wavered and vanished.
My morning spectacle reminded me of
being connected to God. Only when I am connected to Him can I reflect Him in
the dark world.
The Holy Spirit leads me to send a
card, make a phone call, write a devotional, offer a word of encouragement, or
give a hug. Each time, I am spreading a little of His light and love.
Dear Lord, help me to listen to you and
then act so that your love and light are spread into the world. Amen
