Have you ever looked at the stars on a clear night? Out in the desert or away from city lights you can see them so clearly. Every pattern, every detail, every light shining out of the darkness seems to pop against the night sky. Even amid a busy cityscape, you can still catch a glimpse of a few of the brightest lights in the night sky. The way we see the stars—bright, numerous, and awe-inspiring—is the way God sees us.

As His children, we’re called to be set apart. To shine against the darkness of the world around us. To stand out and be known as children of God. In a world that is constantly trying to tell us who we are and how we should live, this reminder is incredibly important. We already know who we are. We already have a purpose in this life. We already are children of God designed to share His light with others.

If you can, get out and look up at the stars one night this week. Let each one you see remind you of who you are in Christ. Let the stars serve as a symbol of the roots of your identity in Him.
