Shadows: The Shadow That's Cast

Part two of this little "Shadows Mini-series". In the first of this topic of shadows we discussed the object that casts the shadow, if you are unaware of what I am speaking of please go..read!

When it is a day where the skies are overcast, and the only light on the earth is what is reflected through the clouds, we tend to prefer the sunny days. The days where the sky is blue, colors are bold, and the sun sits high in the sky. For a lot of us when clouds overtake the sky and rain is coming, our bodies can actually feel the impending weather. Joints may ache, and depending on the seasons allergies might become more significant or what have you.

I know for my father for one reason or another when there is rainy or bad weather it shuts him down completely.  Pain in his joints, sinus headaches and just lack of motivation for anything.

Whenever shadows are cast on us (devotionally speaking) it can be debilitating. We can feel the slight drop in temperature and we can see the level of darkness elevating, it can be felt in our joints, put pressure in our heads and an overall sense of lack of motivation. When the shadow is cast on us by the object that keeps the light at bay we are found weak and suppressed.

Any hint of light makes us scramble there, any false illuminations can build us up but only for a time, and after that time it only makes the shadow that much greater. The shadow that is cast is great, the object is sturdy and unwilling to move.

What of hope? Why does the shadow seem larger than anything ever known? We must remember that the shadow we face is only temporary, whatever the shadow might be cast off of is as well. There is hope, and there is something bigger than any shadow ever created.

All to God
