If we want to live in light, we need to keep turning to God over and over again. Especially on gloomy days. Just like sunflowers do. Just like Jesus did. Just as the Message version of Matthew 17:2 states: Sunlight poured from his face. Shouldn’t we turn to God like Jesus? Shouldn’t God’s light pour from our faces too?

The sunflower moves itself in the most direct position in front of the sun so it can get the maximum sun rays. That’s what we are called to do also. We need to place ourselves in the most direct position in front of God so we can get the maximum exposure of God’s love.
