I Want to be like the Moon

I have always loved the skies and the stars because of there beauty. The last few days it has been a full moon. I remember when I was in 8th grade I went on a family reunion in the mountains of California and I went hiking in the night times with my cousins. There I saw the stars and the moon like I've never seen it before in the dirty skies of jersey. It was so bright and I even got to see 2 shooting stars back to back. That's when I realized...theres things much bigger than I imagined and I longed to see more.

I, however, have certain fascination with the moon, especially full moons. I heard in a sermon awhile back that blew my mind. The pastor spoke about how we are all like the moon. The moon is just a ball of dust it radiates no heat and it shines no light. It's really not good for anything except one thing, it reflects. The moon is used to light this whole earth when it's dark and the only way that it can accomplish this is by reflecting the Sun's light from the other side of the earth. This is the same with us I feel like. We have nothing to offer and we have no particular skill that we can bring to God and say that we are "self made". We are just like the moon...just a pile of dust but we can do one thing and that is to reflect Christ on to this dark world.

Everytime I look up at the Moon I think, " I am nothing without Christ" because without Christ I would make no significant impact on this world. I have nothing great to offer except myself to be used by Christ and to be His moon onto this dark world. God...choose me and use me.
