My Lighthouse

So I went to the goodwill near my school today... and I stumbled upon a magnificent piece to add to my random collection!
                                                                         A lighthouse.
                                                                                         I think I have a new fetish for lighthouses.
I wasn't going to buy it... but I could not resist.. I kept passing by it. It captivated me and for some reason,  I HAD TO HAVE IT.  Don't worry, I didn't spend a fortune. Just $5:)

 

When I bought this little lighthouse, I couldn't help but think about the purpose of the lighthouse.

A lighthouse is meant for guidance. It is meant to shine light upon one's pathway and direct one away from the dangers ahead.

How beautiful to think that...

God is my Lighthouse

He lights my way.

He guides me.

He protects me.

WHY?

because He loves me.

ISAIAH 42:16

¹⁶ I will lead the blind by ways they have not known,

   along unfamiliar paths I will guide them;

I will turn the darkness into light before them

   and make the rough places smooth.

These are the things I will do;

   I will not forsake them.

I love how God can use simple little objects to remind me of his goodness and his love. I tend to forget that he is always with me. No matter how far I stray away, he is there as my light. Ready to direct my path. I am nothing but a lost ship and he, my lighthouse.
