I’ve been playing this sweet little game with my 3 year old daughter. In the morning and at dusk when the light pours through our windows we see rainbows all over our dining room and bathroom. Colors pour over the table, climb the walls, and spill onto the floor. We curve our hands into hearts and frame all the rainbows we can find. If our hands get too close to the rainbows, they create dark shadows over the light and so we hover our hands just slightly above the light so we can see the beautiful picture inside our hearts. We call it “rainbow catching”. It delights me to watch Annalise frame a rainbow and pretend to put it in her pocket for safe keeping. Our game doesn’t last long as the sun rises or sets but long enough to hear my Father in heaven whispering to me and I share this lesson with both of my daughters....Jesus gives us messages that He wants us to capture and share with others but we must be careful not to put too much of ourselves in the message or like our dark shadows over the rainbows, we risk blocking out the most important part... God’s beautiful light.
I love you Jesus. You fill my life with so much beauty. Beauty there are no words for. Everyday in your sweet way you show me, whisper to me, fill me, equip me, and shine your light in my heart. I pray that neither my hands ,nor my words will block out that light. You are everything.
p.s. Rainbow catching is my new favorite thing!
2 Corinthians 4:5 Our message is not about ourselves. It is about Jesus Christ as the Lord. We are your servants for his sake.
2 Corinthians 4:6 For God, who said, "Let light shine out of darkness," made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ.
