The Moon ( II )

Although the brightness of the moon can not compare with the sun, but it has the same attraction. From the ancient to the modern China , there are lots of poems and songs using the moon as topic. There should have sun at the daytime, otherwise how can we definite as daytime? But at night, moon might not be there. however, it is there.

Its so faraway,the soft moonlight from thousands miles, shines on the gloomy earth, lights up our heart. It doesn't only reflects the light of the sun, and also reflects the feelings of human. "The moon does wax, the moon does wane, people have joys and sorrows" A famous poem of SuShi (poet of China), by using the moon to show the human life is so short, reveals deep emotions. Think of the friends and relatives, brought back the memories, feels exciting or sad, sorry or grateful? At that time, all kinds of feelings flow out from the heart.

If the sun symbolizes the God is illustrious,brilliant; then the moon symbolizes His gentle and understanding. So what happened on the past is not important. The importance is God is here, He understands.

"but I continue my pursuit in hope that I may possess it, since I have indeed been taken possession of by Christ (Jesus)." ( Philippians 3:12 )
