Reflections....
The moon looks brighter the darker the night, yet the moon has no light of it's own. It just reflects the light of the sun. It is amazing because the moon's surface is simply made up of rock, dirt and dust. Dust does not reflect very well . Yet it looks so bright at night. That's because the sun gives off so much light and the moon contrast so much from the darkness around it. Of course the moon has to be in the light to be able to reflect the light.
“Then the LORD God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.” The more we are in the light and the darker it is around us, the brighter we can shine even though we are but dust.
