we are clouds

just the other evening, i was driving east.

unable to see the setting sun behind me in the west, i was still astonished by its beauty reflected in the clouds in front of me.

at that moment, i thought of how even when the Son is not in front of us, we can still see His glory.

i thought harder; there has to be a deeper life metaphor.

this morning, i got it.

we are to be the clouds.

to those that are not looking at the Son, we are to be the clouds.

His light should be reflected in us; His majesty, seen in us, by those facing us.

when others are turned away from Him, our visage should be nothing less than the magnificent glow of His glory.
