Inspired by The Word of God, Psalm 147:4 - "He determines the number of the stars and calls them each by name." (NIV)
Creator of the Stars
(by Gail Achilles, 3-14-21)
Oh Creator of the Stars, only you know their number.
Only you know how many shine bright.
Only you know how many have a faint glimmer ready to
Grow brighter or get dimmer.
Only you know the ones who will fall into darkness and fade completely.
You love the stars you created; your love pushes them to remain bright eternally. Those that respond to your gracious love, illuminate the night sky, and the stars that turn away from your glorious grace and mercy will burn up into volcanic ash—Poof! Into nothingness—no more.
You give each star a chance Lord, there is hope in your Word. Your heart smiles when a fading star turns around and grows brighter and brighter and brighter as it nears Your Heavenly Light. You want what’s best for all and want the numbers to grow, never decrease, never to cease.
Stars are like your children who sometime take your gift of free will and fall but you are there to catch them if they have any heart left at all. Praise you Lord for your great love, and giving us the chance to turn from the devil and turn to the dove and get a glimpse of your face at last.
Oh Creator of the Stars, only you know their number.
You know how many shine bright and you know how many have a faint glimmer --
Ready to grow brighter or get dimmer.
Only you know the ones who will fall into darkness and fade completely.
Lord, as your child, all I can say is I will do my best to shine your light until my dying day!
Lord, I cannot do it alone, but with you by my side, the numbers will grow and at world’s end and Heaven’s start glowing stars will cover the sky and shine so bright; we will then be one brilliant light with You never to part!
