The Rising Moon...

     Tonight after a great night of gathering together with thousands of my fellow Liberty students, I left the building a little earlier to beat the crowd and to think about what was preached to us tonight. I waited for the bus and sat on the bench just looking all around and not being able to comprehend I am really here…a student sat down next to me and we just stared at the sky…then we caught a glimpse of something neither of us have ever seen before…we watched as the moon slowly rose behind the mountains…we could actually see it rising…giant and golden, it was so beautiful and I thought how in 22 years of my life I had never thought of watching a moon rise before…I mean sure it's not as glorious as watching a sun rise i'll admit but it was still incredible….another thought came to mind….often times when people say they are going through a difficult situation they say they are wandering in the dark waiting for the sun to rise…but what about the moon? is it not significant? does it's light not count? I am saying this because I believe God wants us to know that though we may be experiencing dark times, He is showing His glory EVERYWHERE, He is showing His power EVERYWHERE and He is showing you His love EVERYWHERE, just because it may not be what we want, doest mean it's not what we need, so be on the look out for those moon rises, and don't sneer at them, we can still experience God's light, comfort, and joy in the midst of the darkness. Don't give up, and don't give in! And most of all, treasure this moment in your life because there will never be a time when you are closer to Christ <3 br="" nbsp="">
