Have you ever thought about stained glass? Do you appreciate the beauty when you see it or have you grown cold to it's wonder? In talking with my husband tonight, He brought up how many different facets there are in a stained glass window. It made me think about myself as a beautiful window... and I wondered... am I lit?
Well, I don't know much but I assume that stained glass is very hard to make. You have to peice it together to make it into what you want it to be. You have to have just the right pieces of glass and colors to complete your work. Then you have to fit it all together and seal it to make sure it is strong enought to withstand the life of a window.
Stained glass is beautiful but, it has to have light behind it to see and apprecitate it and at night time no one can see it bacause no one knows it is there, it appears as just another window... what a shame, to have somethiing so beautiful and useful but no one ever gets to see it.
Stained glass is a bit like people, we are useless without the light of the Son in us to shine out the beauty within. Before we have the light to shine, only God appreciates us because He is he only one that knows the beauty is there. We can be beautiful masterpieces, creeated and designed uniquely by God, or we can be "just another an unlit window"....
What do you want to be? A beautiful stained glass masterpiece or an unlit window?
