Something else I wrote recently, it is where I got the name for my blog. Just an analogy that popped into my head and then i expanded on it.

As Christians we constantly live in the night, in a dark world. God is like the sun, burning so bright, so glorious. If the sun were to enter our orbit, if we were to see God we would burn alive, we would be struck dead by his pure glory. But as Christians we are like moons, we can create no light of our own. We can only hope to reflect God's glory and light into the dark world, into the night. We can only hope to be as full as possible a moon can be, so as to greater shine into the darkness. But the sun will come again, and morning will dawn, and we will all be able to see him, the Son.
