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.
