An exalted view of "self" will cause us to have a diminished view of Jesus. What are some of those things that come between us and the Saviour? What keeps us from having a pure, unhindered relationship with Him and reflecting His light to our world? In my own life, there are several things that most commonly obstruct my view of the Lord Jesus and threaten to keep the light of His presence from shining in and through me.ฤก. And whereas a lunar eclipse happens only infrequently, it seems that our lives are prone to "spiritual eclipses." Therefore, we must continually be alert to anything which might come between our soul and the Saviour. ![]() However, when the things of this earth come between us and the Lord Jesus, our view of Him is obscured and our light is diminished. We have no light of our own-any light that shines from our lives is merely that which we reflect from Him. Jesus is the Sun of Righteousness, the Light of the world. Nothing preventing the least of His favor, Only then are we able to reflect His light to our world. "Revival" may be pictured as that state in which our lives, our homes, and our churches are aligned with the Lord Jesus in such a way that nothing stands between us and Him. The event caused me to reflect in a fresh way on revival and its hindrances. The sun's light was eclipsed by the earth, making it impossible for the moon to shine. The "problem" was that the earth had come between the sun and the moon, causing the moon to become dark. But when the moon ceased to shine, it wasn't because the sun's light was no longer shining. The moon has no light of its own it merely reflects the light of the sun. Of course, we know that the moon didn't really disappear. _ Donate_Late one evening last spring, along with millions of other stargazers around the globe, I watched as, in a matter of minutes, a brilliant full moon "disappeared" behind a dark shadow. I trust that this message will challenge you and will help encourage you to keep your lamps filled with oil until we are called home.

Many don't care too much about the name they leave behind however, we as Christians have been called to leave behind a great name. The heavy truth of the matter is that what we do on this earth will earn for us a name after the grave. The Bible tells us that "the name of the righteous is a blessing, but the name of the wicked shall rot" (Proverbs 10:7).
