Psalm 74:16 The day is yours, and yours also the night; you established the sun and moon.

While the sun shines, everything casts a shadow. The hotter the sun, the blacker the shadow. The shadow may vary in size and hue and whereabouts. But inevitably it will be there.

Men are like that too. When they are in the light of God they cast shadows that follow them around. Some small ones, some big ones. A shadow is a place, where the light is blocked out because some object comes inbetween the sun and the ground.

Man's ego can very easily cast such a shadow on his neighbors. Where because of his size the next will stand in the dark. There are people, who make huge shadows in which nearly nothing grows. There are others who make tiny shadows and some even reflect the light to give it to others.

Instead of drinking up all available strength, they reflect it for others to grow. To flourish. Maybe the seem to just a shadow themselves, for they have become like a fleeting shadow themselves for fear to block the light in someone elses life.

May God be praised for all true light is his.
