A LIGHTHOUSE We're boats on the sea of life Lost and alone in the long dark night Groping while hoping we'll be alright Till a safe harbour's found in dawns light "I am the way, the light and the life", said Jesus His light's shown by His ways in us As belief matures toward total trust In spite of life's stormy sea thrust His apostles called Him to awake Fearing their lives were at stake. Jesus asked where was their faith After calming the storm for their sake. Be a lighthouse on Christ's harbour For others taking on water. Stand firm in belief that's mature Shining His light for each other. |

Sand Grain, I have been missing you and your wonderful poems-glad you're back with another great poem to share. Jesus is the Lighthouse in that He lighteth every one that comes into the world(John 1)-He IS the Light of the World--We are called by Him also to be light-houses, as we reflect His Light, The Light of His Word, and live as the Children of light, as His ambassadors, with the Light-giving Ministry of Reconcilliation to those still struggling in Darkness. Your poem is well based and well expressed. Thank You, David "Our Creativity points to a Higher Creator--we couldn't have just happened, and for what ability we may possess--to God be the glory." -dlw- |

Amen Sandgrain, Encourage one another! Depending on our walk, where we are at, we are each loved the same by our Lord. We are to love and encourage and support the weaker in faith with love as they mature in their walk. Loved this poem. God Bless, Marcy |

SandGrain~ Really inspiring. Let my beacon of His love shine on others. 'Be a lighthouse on Christ's harbour For others taking on water.' Very uplifting. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |
