Today in church I was struggling to find meaning in the sermon that our pastor was giving about "becoming undone". However, during the final worship song, I was washed with a golden wave of inspiration. In the balcony above the majority of the people, the metallic lights kissing the heads of all the people made them look like stalks of wheat. They simply swayed with the warm breath of the Son, and raised their golden heads towards the Light. This metaphor even extends to what wheat becomes when it is crushed and made new; bread. Jesus's body is bread, and when we are reaped, we become his body. A stalk of wheat needs only to believe in the Son, and he (or she) will be reaped and recreated into the body of bread. Even when wheat is cut down, it is still able to become bread. When wheat is bent or broken, it is able to become whole again through the Son. I believe this is an amazing metaphor for the followers of God, and I was inspired so much I felt compelled to raise my beaming face to the Son and smile upon the page with His inspirational words.
