The Moon is still up There

A little girl was trying to cope with her huge schoolbag when another one she carried, fell onto the ground. “Oh, no Carlene, look how dirty the new bag is! Do you know how much it cost? I am working my fingers to the bone to buy all that stuff for you!”

I saw how the face of the girl fell from excitement to regret. “I’m sorry mom.”

At that moment I asked Jesus to touch her heart and then, as if she heard my prayer, she looked at me and smiled. She took her stuff, greeted her mom and walked through the school gates.

“Thank You, Jesus, for being here for little girls with working moms,” I whispered.

At that moment, I thought about Psalm 72 I’ve read that morning. Psalm 72:7 says our life with Christ on this earth would end on the day when the moon is no more.

It is good to note that the moon is still up there.

NASA recently made a video about the other side of the moon which is remarkably different from the side we see. It does not have the darker “spots”, known as maria, but it also has many more craters than our side. When I noticed it, I immediately saw the moon as our meteorite catcher.

In comparison to the earth, the moon is a lot smaller and to think that meteorite catching would be another purpose of our moon is a bit far-fetched, or is it…

Jesus must also have scars we don’t know about. At the time of His death, demons must have run havoc in trying to hurt Him with one purpose in mind, to kill and destroy Him, ridiculing the beloved Son of God while hanging on a wooden cross!

Jesus won, but I wonder how many unknown physical or spiritual scars He has that we are unaware of. How many spiritual scars would be on our Father for having to witness everything!

When we are clumsy and fail, Jesus would never show us His scars to make us feel guilty and remind us how He suffered for us like the mom told the little girl.

As we pick up our lives again all we would see is His smiling and loving eyes.

Praise Jesus! Praise God! The moon is still up there and Jesus here with us!
