One star filled night; I looked in awe at the timeless majesty of the sky
above. All
was quiet, motionless and clear. Then something moved! It began as a
distant blur
and soon grew into a brilliant streak of light overhead. It raced across
the sky and
soon, there was only the fading light of the afterglow of a magnificent,
spectacular
and enchanting shooting star!
Many of the events in my life remind me of shooting stars. The events
appear,
explode into brilliance in the center of my life, and demand all of my
attention for a
time, then almost as quickly, fade into my past. As the events move
slowly from the
present and then off into the frozen sea of the past, they leave in their
wake many
memories, memories that gradually fade and seem to be forgotten.
But, every so often, when I meet in prayer with my friend, Jesus, He will
gently
remind me of those long ago struggles and victories. Often, as we walk
and talk
together, in my mind’s eye, He causes me to see those events as if they
are
spectacular, enlightening shooting stars flashing across my memory.
Later, as we
talk, He reminds me of other scenes, scenes that seem to again flash
into focus in
my mind until, I remember all of the colorful details; the great struggle,
strife, worry
and ultimately, through His love, the victory.
Now, as I recall the events in my past, I realize that all of those were
experiences
Jesus and I shared together. What’s more, I
now know that they were all
vitally
important to my growth and maturity because of the way they helped to
mold and
shape my future. Today, I can understand that those were the times
when I was
learning how to: pray, cope, think and make right choices and build my
faith in God.
As a matter of fact, as look back, it is only natural that I cherish the
companionship
and fellowship I shared with my constant companion Jesus during those
important
events. He invariably was patient as He lovingly advised me. He
always did His
gentle best to help me grow and mature.
One thing I’ve learned, and I’d like to pass it along to you, is that through
it all,
anytime you and I find ourselves struggling with life’s problems, all we
have to do is
walk outside on a clear night and search the heavens. There, as we
watch and pray,
Jesus can easily cause us to be reminded of His love by simply showing
us one or
more of those memory jogging, spectacular – shooting stars.
