Ok...so if you know me at all then you know that I have a
First of all, they are beautiful to look at. I love to just sit and watch them twinkle and sparkle and shine and glimmer. There's something very relaxing and exhilarating all at once about gazing up into the night sky. When riding in a car with you at night, chances are I'm not really listening to you as I should be when you're talking. Instead I've got my face plastered to the window searching for those little dots of fire.
Secondly, (hold on to your hats all you non-math nerds) the sheer composition of a star (pentagram) is astounding. It's unicursal. Who doesn't love to just sit and doodle stars everywhere??? And I mean really...can we say "golden proportion" sigh. That itself just makes my world right. Just google it. Do it.
Thirdly, and most importantly, they have deep meaning. For me, I'm talking biblical meaning.
The use of the star (pentagram) was used in Christianity as a symbol to remind us of those five wounds that Christ himself endured for us. His two kind, serving hands. His two faithful, unceasing feet. His one compassionate, loving side. We are called to live by His example. My hands, feet, and side could use some realigning.
They are representative of the covenant relationship between God and mankind. A sign of all of those glorious promises that He continually remains steadfast and loyal in bestowing. These verses say it best:
"And God said, “Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night. And let them be for signs and for seasons, and for days and years, and let them be lights in the expanse of the heavens to give light upon the earth.” And it was so." - Genesis 1:14-15
"And God said, “This is the sign of the covenant that I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for all future generations: I have set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between me and the earth." - Genesis 9:12-13
Stars were used as a sign of royalty. The highest King of all is described as a star.This verse reminds us of one of Christ's many wonderful names, the bright and morning Star:
“I, Jesus, have sent my angel to testify to you about these things for the churches. I am the root and the descendant of David, the bright morning star.” - Revelation 22:16
I have always said that I am a princess because I am a daughter of the King. He makes me a princess. He makes me beautiful. He makes me new. He makes me. He makes you too. You are His princess or prince. Live in such a way.
