Shining brightly, even a little

There was this little glowing spot on the floor this morning, very bright! It was very dark out and in the room, which made it even brighter. I wondered where it was coming from, and then I thought, the moon! So I tried looking through the only window it could be coming from, and no...then I caught a glimpse of it as I turned my head a certain way. I wonder if we reflect Christ sometimes this way. Do people have to turn their heads a certain way to see Christ shining through? This was not a full moon I was looking, just over half it seemed. Yet it was so bright. I had a funny thought; does the moon get jealous of itself? When it's a bright full moon, no clouds, and it shines brighter...no, probably not. But this moon was extremely bright, as if it were a full non, and et it wasn't. I know we all only have so much about ourselves that we feel shines. But it has never been about ourselves, but Christ, as we are in Him. So we have to remember that it is Christ that shines, and we in Him. So no matter how much we've been given; talent, time, gifts, however we sine, it is Christ. The brightness will not depend on us, but on Christ. "Lord, have the freedom to shine in us, take Your way, Your rightful place. Lord, we are Yours, in Jesus name, Amen!"
