A Different Kind of Star

The Swallow loves to look at the stars.  So sad that with the bright city lights, it is somewhat difficult to see myriad of stars in the night sky.

Once, when the Swallow was younger, she was still awake way past midnight, and out in the country, at a place where she could look up into the vast night sky.  She had her first sight of the Big Dipper.  It was so amazing to her, she kept looking and looking and looking at it again.  She has yet to see the Big Dipper again.

However, there is a different kind of Star which the Swallow can look at daily..the Bright and Morning Star.  It can be 'seen' at any time of the day, but she has to use special eyes to see this Star...

Revelation 22 : 16 (NKJV)
I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify to you these things in the churches.  I am the Root and the Offspring of David, the Bright and Morning Star.

This Star keeps her hopes up, that no matter how tough times get, how weary she is from her flying, there is One who is beside her, holding up her wings, gently holding her in His hands.

TURN YOUR EYES UPON JESUS by Helen H. Lemmel

Turn your eyes upon Jesus,
Look full in His wonderful face;
And the things of earth will grow strangely dim,
In the light of His glory and grace.
