The bright orange ball peeks over the rooftop, spreading a pinkish glow across the azure sky.  As it comes on with blinding brilliance, the activity below appears stark in comparison. With no covering, the blaze of light overtakes the scene.  While warming windows, it illuminates the tiniest flaws in the glass.  But, its presence reduces them to insignificant.
Like this scene, we view our lives through the lens of insecurities and minor inadequacies, but there is a deeper, blazing truth within us of who God made us to be; that when we let it rise, will draw our eye back to the brilliance.

What part of you wants to rise up and be noticed?
