We are Silhouettes by Kathleen McCauley We are like silhouettes in life. As I biked one early morning, my attention was drawn to the dark, tall, black, silhouettes of the trees jetting into the newlyilluminated morning sky. The brilliance of the new dawn captured my eye. I realized that it was only due to the light in the foreground that I could see and appreciate the silhouettes of the trees. Though the silhouettes look big and strong, and dominate the skyline, they are nothing without the light of the day framing their existence as silhouettes. Their presence would have no relevance, value, or beauty without the bright sky in the foreground. As I took this in, I asked God that I might be like one of the silhouettes; that my life could dominate the landscape with strength and beauty, as do these trees. It is then that I realized that my life, no matter how big or strong or beautiful, has no relevance or mark on the landscape of life without the brilliant light of Christ. He frames it all and allows me to be a silhouette of Him.
