I can see the stars tonight in spite of the glare of city lights. They remain in place obediently shining through the darkness. They remind me of the jacks I used to pick up as a child. I feel like I could reach up and scoop them into my hand; savoring them until dawn and the glory of the morning sun consumes them and they are a memory. Like so many others.
I used to be afraid of the night because it was so hard to see what was real and what was not. Shadows everywhere and me not able to sleep because I had not yet found the peace that passes all understanding. When I first came to Him as frightened as a child caught in uncertain circumstances; I remember it was an Autumn night. It was then I discovered that the dark and the light were the same to Him and He could see me laying there. It was then that I was surrounded by the most glorious Light and my way would never be darkened again; even when I sinned. It was then that the sleep came and remained and I rested for the very first time. I was no longer afraid to greet the new day. No longer did the shadows frighten me, they became a memory, like so many others.
