| The
dragonfly is a symbol of growth and development. Her life begins
in water, but as she matures, she moves to the air yet always stays
close
to the water. She reaches her strongest physical point during the
summer months as she gains optimal strength from the warmth of the
sunlight.
Her brilliant colors result from reflecting and refracting the radiance
of that same light.
The dragonfly
serves to remind us that we too can reflect the light of God in a
darkened
world, by letting His Son shine through us. In a sense, we
desperately
need to be "dragonflies" for God. God specifically places His
light
(The Holy Spirit) in our hearts to teach us, guide us, and to shine
through
us so that others will be drawn to Him. Our light is the love of
Jesus Christ. When we stay close to God, our source of life, we
are
at our strongest - we are essentially at His best. (To

2 Corinthians
4:6 'For God, who said, "Let
light
shine out of darkness," made his light shine in our hearts to
give
us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of
Christ.' Will
you be a Dragonfly for God?
