look at this image really good...
what do you see?
a beacon...
bright and warning...
why can you see it?
because the storm has made it dark so the beacon shines bright...
the sea is swollen and the waves are crashing, hiding the danger...
but the light is above it all...
telling everyone to be safe in the storm...
what do you see now?
the light is hope...
now, if the waves were calm and the sun was shining, you would not be able to see the beacon...
you would not need it...
you would see the light house standing there and the rocks around it...
all beacons are built on rocks...
solid rocks...
now, imagine that we are all light houses...
you see where this is going?
in the sunlight, we are clearly seen by all who pass by...
but...
and this is a big but...
how many can see you when they are in the middle of their storm?
is your light bright enough to steer them in the right direction?
are you built on solid rock?
have you maintained your structure?
and most importantly...
is there light within?
you will never know how many ships pass safely because of your light...
you only see the ones in the calm of the day...
but know this...
someone is watching you...
gaining strength through you...
being safe because of you...
avoiding the reefs...
to land safely when the seas calm...
keep shining...
it is not in vain...
Thank you so much for sharing this. It is well written and inspirational. I hope my light is shining bright Teri xx
