This weekend I heard much wild chirping
and saw Honey peering up at the patio ceiling making his little
ma-a-a-a-ah noises, which usually accompanies the sighting of prey. I
grabbed him and turned around to see a young bird clinging to the
bricks and fluttering around in terror.
Stressed out myself, I called on my
neighbour to assist me with the drama while putting Honey back in the
house. She very wisely told me that the young bird would fly towards
the light and that we should just back off and allow it some time to
find its bearings.
Sure enough, a few moments later the
little thing flew down and out it went. I learned a good and
valuable lesson about bird behaviour that day! More so it got me
thinking about the parable Jesus told about the city on the hill.
Jesus said that a city on a hill cannot be hidden and that as we
shine our light we will draw others to Him.
Having seen this, to me, new bird
behaviour it started to make so much more sense. There are so many
hurting people out there just looking for a way of escape, a way to
flee depression, heartache and anger. When we are the light of the
world we show others that way of escape through our relationship with
Jesus!
Will you shine your light and let
others see Jesus today?
