The Morning Star

Written By Rachel

I read something recently and it was so beautiful it really stuck with me. It was in Revelation 2 verse 28:
“I will also give that one the morning star.”
‭‭And this is God telling us that He’s going to give us the morning star if “we are victorious and do God’s will to the end” (Rev 2:26).
So I googled what morning star meant in relation to the Bible and a definition I found said that a morning star appears just before dawn, when the night is coldest and darkest, when the world is at its bleakest point. And it’s also mentioned in other books that Christ is the morning star (in Rev 22:16 and 2 Pet 1:19). So anyways, for God to say that He will give us the morning star - I just think that’s so beautiful because, to me, it means that when I’m at my darkest and bleakest point, God Himself will come find me, to save me from my enemies, my tribulations, my sin! Isn’t that just incredible! He will continue to come find me in my bleakest points and lift me up every time I fall into sin! Just as God gives us His only Son to be crucified on a cross to save us from our sin again and again!! It’s such a tiny detail but it has such a deep and beautiful meaning.

And that by His blood and grace we are saved. It also means to me that when I’m stuck in a cycle of sin and I am at my darkest point, I’m meant to call on the name of Jesus to help me overcome this sin, to break this cycle, to break the chains, because without God I am a slave to sin!

Because we can’t do it alone, like we can’t, we’re just weak humans and we are only strong in Christ! Therefore, I have to ask God to help me overcome this sin, and sometimes I think I have to stop sinning for God, NO it’s a team effort, you do it WITH God, you let him help you stop this sin! Only He can help you.

About me, just those two words bother me. Me. Who is me? I’ve struggled with this question a lot growing up, who am I? Who is Rachel? Rachel is my name, but who is she? The identity issue of who you perceive yourself to be and who people say you are has been a battle I’ve been fighting with myself a long time. Until that day. The day He called me by my name.“Come, my Beloved”. The day I finally realised I am a daughter of a King.

It’s a hard thing to do, to rewire your brain into thinking that you're special and beautiful, that you do have a purpose; especially in a world which constantly tells you otherwise. But, with the constant reminder of His promises and predestined truths, I believe we can tap into a life so much sweeter and more beautiful than we can ever imagine. You are ROYALTY, you are a Son/Daughter of the Highest King! So, my hope for this blog is to find out who I am in who He is! to experience Him through all of my senses and actions and to invite you guys to explore this journey with me!

I’m not quite sure how I’m meant to describe myself in an ‘about me’ as I said I’m still figuring it out, so below I have listed a few likes and dislikes that may help you guys get to know me a little bit better! I like Disney, I like Korean dramas, Korean food, Korean everything, I like Photography, I like to go on long walks with my wellies and get really muddy, I like to read books about dragons and magic powers and things that don’t exist, I like to paint, I don’t like to trip but it occasionally does happen 😂🤷🏽‍♀️ I don’t like spiders, I don’t like horror movies (I will have nightmares for weeks) I hate squidgy/slimy textured foods for example mushrooms. I don’t really want to end this at mushrooms so I have a mug collection and a mild addiction to Tom and Jerry.
