Let there be light

There’s purpose in your light.

From the beginning, you were spoken into place. To divide and provide season, and change.

There is purpose in your name, “ Lesser light” to bridge the dark from the dawn, to hold the rhythm of song, to create time where silence stretched endless. For the night had no kindness until you came, quiet and soothing.

The sun takes its course because you keep yours; and its rage would burn and wander without your steadiness.

Together you mark the covenant; a reminder that even shadows are governed by God. When I look up, I see not only a white eye in the vast fullness of night, but the patience of the One who set you there as a promise,

that even in the deepest night,

there is light enough to trust. To rest.
