REKINDLE

Shine!

Could you imagine a night full of stars? So bright, so alluring, so proud of how they are made. Even though some people say that they are just burning rocks and would soon be dust, they still smile so gracefully even when they know that they aren't as bright as the sun or the moon. Because they are certain that they are more than that -- they are more than chemistry and astrology and physics. They know that they are more than science.

And because they mustered that courage to put aside their insecurities, they ended up being ravishing and astonishing and... Perfect. You see, it is about believing that you are as beautiful as any other star out there. It is remembering that though you are not as bright as the sun or other stars around you, you are still shining. You are still glowing despite the vast darkness around you.

Could you imagine a night full of stars? Because I can. And I see them right here, right at this moment. Some seemed dull though they're bright. Some are kind enough to groom so dimly as so others could shine brighter. And some... Some are not even aware that they are shining.

Look around you. Look in the mirror if you may please. My friend, stars are not always in the sky -- they dwell on Earth too. Darling, you are a star. So, go. Go and shine. Go and show the world how bright you can be. Go and prove to the night that you are far more enticing than its darkness. Go and remind the moon that though you are not as big, you are as mesmerizing.

Could you imagine a night full of stars?

Then look closely around you. Look how everyone wears their own glitters. Look how they chose to shine.

Look around you.

Look at our constellations.

Look at our galaxy.

"Let your light shine before men. "

-Matthew 5:16
