My Journey to God

Meditation On the Moon

Driving home one night, staring up at the moonlit sky,
I wondered how I could ever walk with Jesus,
Perfect, infallible, God’s own Son,
And yet he was human, my very brother,
Sharing with me our Father, God.
Still, looking into the sky, I wondered,
How can I know Jesus better?
How can I speak to him?
What do I have in common with Christ,
Whose inconceivable sacrifice saved me and saved us all?
And then I saw it staring back at me.
The light of the moon showed me the Light of the world.
For that same moon, floating above the Earth,
Had floated above his Earth, too.
Jesus and I, brother and sister, gazing upon the same moon,
Praying to our Father in heaven.
Just imagine that.
