The Lighthouse

By Bernadine March 1, 2018 Devotion, Faith

Jesus spoke to the people once more and said, “I am the light of the world. If you follow me, you won’t have to walk in darkness, because you will have the light that leads to life.”John 8:12 (NLT)

The Lighthouse

The lighthouse stands,
A symbol of hope
In a world that seems
Dark with despair

It sends out a light
On the darkest of nights
Drawing in lost souls
From the storms of life

It gives you hope
Where it seems, there is none
And symbolizes the true lighthouse
Jesus Christ, God’s only son

I’ve always loved lighthouses. I’ve never actually been in one, but I enjoy looking at pictures of lighthouses and reading stories built around them.

My favorite pictures of lighthouses are those where the waves are crashing against the cliffs and the lighthouse is somewhat in the distance seemingly just a small part of the picture, however it is the most important part.

These pictures remind me that no matter how tumultuous and chaotic life may become He, Jesus Christ, will always be there, the steady, unchanging presence that will guide me safely to my destination.

1 The LORD is my light and my salvation— so why should I be afraid?
The LORD is my fortress, protecting me from danger, so why should I tremble?
Psalm 27:1 (NLT)

I needed this reminder today. I pray it encourages you.

    I love light houses. Have SEEN them but never been in one. Jesus is our light house. If it wasn’t for Him, I would have crashed and drowned a long time ago.
