Burnished Gold

It is just 6am in the morning and I can see a very bright sun shining behind, and through my curtains. The colour it has given the fabric is like burnished gold. Right before my eyes, the cloth has taken  on a new quality , like shimmering gold dust. It's metallic beauty catching the light in different directions. This cloth has no such luster of its own but has taken on a certain iridescent quality from the sun.

In the same way, we are to take on the light of our Heavenly Father. The true and perfect light. We do not have it of our own, but when we are in Him, we take on   His qualities and we glint and shimmer and reflect God's glory. We display the beauty of the awesome, enigmatic power of God .  

Proverbs 4:18 

18The path of the righteous is like the morning sun,

shining ever brighter till the full light of day.
