The Shining Place
A power nap does wonders for me but not Mr. Bill! It’s quite obvious when he had awakened from an “accidental” power nap. His face has no expression, his eyes are dazed, and he drags his feet. That’s when I just love to exclaim, “Good Morning, Star Shine!” To this, he usually just grumbles.
George MacDonald once prayed, “O make my mirror-heart Thy shining-place.” Do you like what you see in the mirror first thing in the mornings? My mirror scares me sometimes! Haven’t you heard how a clean mirror squeaks? Oh, for such a heart! My heart gets world-smudges on it, leaving streaks and stains, which causes The Father’s reflection … well, not good at times! A clean and pure heart, however, gives a glorious reflection of its Creator. Paul wrote in 2 Corinthians 4:6, “For God … is the One who has shone in our hearts to give the Light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ.” Believers who have trusted Jesus as Savior and call Him Lord will diligently seek Christ as King and … the Shining Place!
