He is a beacon of hope
I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life. (John 8:12)
The song came to a close as I pulled into the driveway. “Lights will guide you home,” What a simple yet profound thought. I leaned back and closed my eyes. Thank You that Your light has always guided me home.
I remembered the many times when I’d felt lost or alone or confused, but then the light of God’s love and care was always there to guide me home, back into His loving arms. This light has come in many forms—a friend who came to see me at just the right time; my mom or dad; a stranger who shed some new perspective on my life and thinking, my husband, whose passion for life has many a time been like the sun breaking through the clouds on a stormy day.
I realized that God’s light has always shone on my heart. It has never turned off, never run out of power, never dimmed. Whenever I have stopped and looked, His light has always been there to guide me home. He is a beacon of hope, a guiding light showing us the way to walk to reach our destination and fulfill our destiny; He is a warm glow that keeps us feeling loved when we may feel unlovely.
Whenever we look up and away from what surrounds us, we can feel His light and His brilliance. Every single time I’ve stopped and looked up, the light has guided me home. And I know it always will. [1]
God gives hope to those who dream. Gives miracles to those who believe. He never lets down those who trust and never leaves those who walk with Him. - Nishan Panwar
