The proud star rises high in the midnight sky, boasting of a brilliance it never earned.

Its crown is woven from arrogance, its shine steeped in deceit and violence. The brighter it appears, the emptier it becomes; the higher it climbs, the faster it falls, for it forgets that light was never its own.

The humble star keeps silent through the deepest night. It does not grasp or steal; it simply offers its radiance to the world.

It flickers from the lowest place yet illumines the highest heaven. It descends and is lifted up; it gives itself and receives glory. It does not borrow light—it is light itself.

One falls because of pride, the other abides forever in humility. Two stars share the same sky, yet one belongs to the darkness while the other carries the dawn.

I saw a proud star enthroned above the mountains. Its glare was sharp but cold, shining on power, greed, and fear.

Once it possessed wisdom, yet it tripped over its own glory. It oppressed the people, deceived generations, and replaced the true light with a counterfeit glow. I wept for that star, because its fall drags countless souls into pain.

Then I saw another star—a humble one—rising from an island in the sea. It does not coerce or dominate; it merely illuminates the conscience, guards freedom, and lets the wind of truth pass through the ages.

That star is small yet bright; without worldly might yet strong enough to pierce the night. The proud star prophesies ruin, the humble star announces hope.

But the brightest Morning Star—Jesus—will come, silencing the boasts of pride and healing every humble heart.

Lord Jesus, Bright Morning Star, True Light from True Light, we ask You to shine on this land.

Let Your light pierce the darkness of the proud star, tear down counterfeit radiance, and rip the veil of deception so hidden evil is exposed.

Protect humble hearts, the weak, and all who pursue truth; keep them from being swallowed by night.

Let Your dawn visit east and west, mountains and islands, great cities and quiet villages, oppressors and the oppressed alike.

May all people see: the proud star will surely fall, the humble star will surely endure, and You alone are the everlasting Light. In the name of Jesus Christ, amen.
