God has been speaking to me about being a lighthouse. A lighthouse guides ships to safe harbor in the dark of night or during a fierce storm. A lighthouse is built upon a solid and sturdy foundation so that even in a hurricane, it will stand and shine. The lighthouse is tended to so that it remains 100% functional, 100% of the time. A lighthouse is not affected by the darkness or danger around it. In black and perilous times, it shines even more brightly and welcomes weary travelers to safety.
I am a lighthouse. I have the light of Jesus in me and it is radiating out of me. I carry a beacon of hope in a dark and hopeless world. I am built upon the Rock...the unchanging, immovable God. The darkness around me does not affect me; it only makes the Light inside me shine brighter. I must be obedient to Jesus to make sure that I stay functional. I cannot allow the darkness to overwhelm me and I must take it to Jesus and be continuously filled with Him. I can't shine in my own power...I will burn out! It has to be Jesus shining through me! I will beckon the tired and downtrodden to come find shelter and hope in Jesus.
God is calling me to live as a lighthouse. I am choosing to be obedient.
