Forty days to a deeper faith The dragonfly is a symbol of growth and development. She is her strongest when she stays close to her source of strength, the sunlight. As she absorbs warmth from the sun, she reflects it through her wings for the world to see. We are much like the dragonfly, created to grow and develop into all God has purposed. We are our strongest and best when we stay close to our source of strength, the Son light. As we absorb His light, His Holy Spirit teaches, guides, and shines through us so others are drawn to Him. The dragonfly serves to remind us that we, too, can reflect the light of Christ in a darkened world by letting His Son shine through us. Will you be a dragonfly for God?
