"to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of His splendor."
Isaiah 61:3 NIV

Shine

Inspired by the wonderful sun shine filled weekend, I thought that I would share this song and lyrics with you.  It is amazing just how much the sun, moon, and stars draw our attention and desire.  The sun has an amazing effect on me I know...my mood for sure.  When the sun is shining my spirits are definitely lifted.  It is so peaceful to relax and gaze out at the moon and stars in the evening.  Yes, I do think that God created them just not for a physical purpose but also for our enjoyment.  I can't help but think that we also are like the sun, moon, and stars created for a purpose and allowed to shine for Christ in this world.

SHINE 
by Salvador
I woke up to another day 
Another day to celebrate 
Your beauty and Your mystery,it’s more than any eye can see 
I’m not the man I was before 
With You, my life is so much more 
Break the chains and open doors to a world I can't ignore 

Lord let me shine, shine like the moon 
A reflection of You in all that I do 
Lord let me be a light for Your truth 
Light of the world, 
I wanna be used to shine for You
   
As simple as a passing smile  
Or listening a little while 
To someone that's convinced that they are in this all alone 
Here's my chance to share the news 
To introduce the good that's You 
Here You go again, 
You never cease to blow my mind 

Lord let me shine, shine like the moon 
A reflection of You in all that I do 
Lord let me be a light for Your truth 
Light of the world, I wanna be used to shine for You 

You're the love that we all need 
You lift us up to our feet 
You hold the key to eternity 
The King of Kings alive in me.
