Glimmer is the story of a seemingly ordinary star set in a vast galaxy. He is unhappy with his plain characteristics and often compares himself to other stars who are bigger, brighter, and more perfectly shaped than him.

He goes to God and asks Him to make him a standout star--one who would be noticed by the Earth. God gently reminds Glimmer that he is perfect the way he is. Not satisfied with God's answer, Glimmer goes to Him once more and asks to be brilliant and noticeable. Again, God firmly conveys to Glimmer that he was made with God's own hands and placed in the perfect spot in the universe. Still dissatisfied, Glimmer goes to God a third time and makes a final request to be special.

This time, God answers his request; and through a grand and insightful event, Glimmer realizes that God was right.

It is through this majestic event that Glimmer comes to understand that each person is unique and specially made. He also realizes that God has a plan, place, and purpose for everyone even when they cannot see it with their eyes. He finds that these truths need to be believed and understood by the heart.
