Let The Son Shine In.

The best day of the year I love most has arrived. No, it’s not my birthday so don’t send expensive gifts. This day is the day where we have more sunlight than any other day of the year. What an awesome day for those of us who are energized by the sun. Something about vitamin D I think. This morning, even noticed a hint of sunlight shortly after 4:30am, which had me imagining Earl out looking across the field noticing the crops reaching for the sun. When I was driving home from church this past Sunday I really started to take notice of how green everything we getting, even with the lack of rain. I also started thinking of a bible story that said, we can plant and tend and water but God gives the growth.

It also gave me opportunity to think of the similarities, a metaphor if you will, of our visual world and the spiritual world. When we have more of God’s Son in our life, we grow more and are enlightened in so many ways we become all God intended us to be and just like Him. The warmth of the Son warms our hearts and calms our fears. My Bible reads in 1 John 5:12, Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.

What an amazing picture of Jesus Christ in your life. And just like the truth of our world where the sun gives life and food, so does God’s Son. Not much grows without the warm light of the sun. God knew what He was doing when He put the world together and created and prepared it for us. Everything we need is here. He knew right from the beginning in Genesis 1:3 that His first priority was light. The sun gives us warmth, light and we also absorb the suns rays in ways too difficult for me to explain. He had it all figured out before we arrived on the sixth day.

So life is when we have the Son of God Most High. Jesus can come into our lives and enlighten us or feed us with the knowledge of His Father, our Father. We can grow and flourish in His presence and be all He intended us to be. Just like a bean. He created it to be a bean and it’s amazing that the germinating life that lives in the bean seed reproduces another bean. Not a cabbage or tomato. It is the same with us. He puts the germinating life, His life in us and in every person and He watches to see how the grows. Want to really grow in God, get closer to the Son. He will enlighten your heart and warmer your soul.

Something to think about
