As I followed the on-ramp down and around to the right the sun was peering through the trees. The sky was so pink it was almost orange and as I straightened up my truck and merged onto the highway I couldn't help but look at the sun. It was a huge orange ball just barely peering over the horizon. I would look at it until my eyes burned and then I'd shut them and look away to only turn to my focus back once again.
The warmth felt good radiating off my windshield and I began to think about how wonderful I feel when I'm in the sun, near the sun, when I can feel the sun! I can't help but smile and turn my face towards it. I can't help but shut my eyes and get carried away in my dreams. And, in the same turn I feel that way about THE SON! I feel wonderful when I am close to THE SON! When I am near THE SON I feel comforted, complete. I can't help but close my eyes and bask in His light. I find it interesting the similarities in the sun and THE SON!
“I am the light of the world." John 8:12 (NLT)
"...his face shone like the sun..." Matthew 17:2 (NLT)
“...My light will shine for you just a little longer. Walk in the light while you can, so the darkness will not overtake you. Those who walk in the darkness cannot see where they are going. Put your trust in the light while there is still time; then you will become children of the light.” John 12:35-36 (NLT)
