End of the Rainbow

A state of awe and contentment only begins to describe the state I have been in lately and am in now...God is so good. As my hands are opened to receiving His blessings, He is pouring them out abundantly, and I urge you to do the same. Don't miss out on the glorious gifts only He can give to you!

The end of the rainbow...blazes so bright and vivid that one is drawn to look at its splendor in its finality. However, the end of a rainbow is purely an illusion to the eye, for a rainbow is actually a full circle and completes itself. I was so struck by the beauty of this rainbow over the hills today. God loves to bless us and speak to us in the ways that are most personal to us. For me, it is through His creation, from the beauty in the simple things to the glorious, most magnificent sights. And though there was a lot that happened with that rainbow, there's one thing in particular I would like to share. In a rainbow there's refracted light, which is the deflection of light from its source to reflect on something nearby, passing from one medium to another. In a rainbow all of the colors of light are displayed. There is no end to it. There is always a source consisting of water which creates the rainbow due to the refraction.

Do we fully realize the gift God has given to those who believe in Him and choose to walk in His freedom and power? He is the source, and we are the rainbow. The light comes from above and refracts in the water, creating and displaying all of the colors of light. Not one can be excluded from that spectrum, it is not inclusive and displays full splendor. As we allow His light to refract from Him and onto us, we have the amazing position of displaying all the aspects of His character. As Galatians 5:22 states that "the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control," we possess all of these qualities as a result of walking in the spirit. They are not inclusive, we have all of these gifts, and this only reflects His glory more. As we choose to allow the Holy Spirit to be our source, we will never have an end to truly reflecting the character of God, and in that, be a source of beauty and inspiration in a stormy world.

Will you make that choice? Will you keep it? The source is always there, possessing so much beauty and many gifts, but you must choose to bear that and refract it. Will you be a reflection of God?
