2NITE:Divinity In Paradox by Briana J. Reed
Time To Protect Our Planet
The moon does not generate its own light. Instead, it reflects the light of the sun. Its purpose is to testify of a greater reality - that of the sun. In this way, the moon “serves” the sun.
The moon is a symbol of faith. In spiritual darkness, it lights our way on the path. Faith is the guiding force in our “night seasons.” When we fail to feel the presence of God, our faith becomes the lifeline to the light of the Sun.
