“Yeah, we will shine like stars in the summer night;
We will shine like stars–it’ll be alright”

Those lyrics are from U2’s classic song “With or Without You”, live at Slane Castle for their Elevation tour. I like the sentiment behind them, and it goes well with something I read in Alan Ames’ books of private revelation entitled “Through the Eyes of Jesus”, where Jesus says that mens’ souls are like dew drops. When the sun’s light hits them, they light up brilliantly and sparkle brightly, but without the sun’s light, they are dull. The analogue to the sunlight is Jesus living inside a man’s soul.

So I modify these lyrics slightly sometimes:

“Yeah, we will shine like dew in the morning light;
We will shine like stars–it’ll be alright”

May Christ truly dwell in our little souls and light them up with his beautiful love!
