Are You A Lighthouse?

Are You A Lighthouse?
Jesus said,”I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness but will have the light of life. “ (John 8:12)
I love lighthouses. There is something very special about its peacefulness amid a sailors worst storm.
As a child, growing up around the ocean, I was enamored by the stories of lighthouses and how they guided the sailors and their ships through treacherous waters to safety.
I have had friends in my life that have come and gone for but a season. Some stayed for a life time. Their beaming lights have guided me to new paths I might not have otherwise traveled. They have taught me love in a way I might not have otherwise experienced.
When I am in troubled waters, I can experience peace, strength and guidance in knowing God and Him wanting to show me the way. When I see a lighthouse beacon cast her wide circle of light, it reminds me of God’s radiant love that surrounds and embraces me. God invites me into the light that leads to everlasting life.
As a Christian, I can be a lighthouse to those traveling through troubled waters.
