When

When out walking yesterday, I notice the shadows cast by this bridge. It was early afternoon and sun was bright.  The shadows were very dark and sharp and quite beautiful.  But I thought to myslelf, what exactly are shadows? While Shadows appear to have shape and form they are however an illusion created when an object blocks light. They are not real and tangible but are negative images..  When light shines directly on something and not behind,  we see the true color, shape, and form of it. 

I began to realize how this concept applies to spiritual perception. When we see though the spirit of God, the light of Christ shows us things as they really are and not as they seem.  Without that light or when the light is blocked, then we see a shadow of what is really there. This idea made me want to embrace more of that light that I might see clearly the path I am following and not sumble on shadows of things that are not real. I just wanted to share this idea and hope it also makes sense to you.
