A Night Light For Life

          We all have had our fair share of trials. Some of us have greater ones than others. Some of us have learned to grow from them, have we not? And some of us do not understand why it is we had that particular trial. Was it really necessary? Maybe we should replace that "necessary" with a greater thought instead. . .

    . . . There have been many instances in which I have curled up, hated life  & cried my eyes out while my heart ached from the trial I was experiencing. After the fact, a new knowledge settled within my heart. & that thought was a five-letter word: S T A R S.

    . . . We all understand that "stars light up the night sky." Well, why can't stars serve as a comforting friend while we sit in the dark? When we were little, some of us, used night-lights for various purposes... but for most of us, it was to give us security. If you think about it, night-lights gave us the comfort we needed so we could sleep peacefully. It allowed us to feel safe. In a strange way, it was a friend. . . & how many times have we needed a friend when that trial was just taring us apart on ssoo many levels? How many of us took the time to look out our windows or go outside, only to find that the Lord sent us many friends, many angels to twinkle over us? How many of us stayed in the dark & allowed our trial to destroy our hearts? How many of us realized & appreciated that the Lord gave us a night-light, not only for that particular day, or for that particular time because of our trial/s, but A NIGHT LIFE FOR LIFE? . . . Can you tell me how many of us thought that? . . . . . . Can you tell me how many of us will think that now?

    . . . A star took command of a sky years ago to shine the way for three wise men. A star, or rather stars, can help lead us home if we are ever lost. When I went through a certain trial, I remember feeling lost; I remember saying "I quit. Just take me now so I can bare this heart-ache no more!"; I remember crying ssoo much that the sweetest thing at that point in my life were indeed my bitter tears; I remember. . . . BUT what I will/ shall never forget is I was given a night-life for life. He was & still is directing me home. He sent me a friend. He sent me an angel. He made me feel secure & safe at night. He helped me sleep peacefully. He reassured me that we would not know light if we did not experience darkness.

          The next time you stop to ask yourself "Is this really necessary?"... look out the window or go outside & see that He has given you a night-light for life. Sweet dreams :)
