Lighthouse is a symbol of hope, trust, and better days are ahead. Once in awhile, a song will come along and hit you right in the heart. My Lighthouse, by Rend Collective, is that kind of song for me. I just can’t believe that I haven’t heard the song before now.
The song is about how a God serves as our lighthouse. He is the beacon when we lost our way. I strive to have a good relationship with Jesus. I listen in my heart His plans for me, and I draw from His strength. The song reminds me even in my weakness, He is there for me guiding me to the right choice.
My cerebral palsy has made my life a bit more complicated than most. People often who don’t believe in God tell me that He isn’t needed, and I have my own strength. The truth is that I don’t think I could be who I am without God. How could I forgive everyone who has hurt me – some very deeply? I couldn’t have the strength that pulls from someplace deep within to keep trying.
Lighthouse of patience and love
Patience is definitely from the grace of God. The amount of patience I need to deal with my husband, children, people that I’m with each day, society that isn’t great for people with disabilities is from God.
Prayer has made me see the world beautifully. I’m not perfect. But prayer has given me some inner peace to see each day a little brighter. By surviving cancer and the loss of a spouse, Jesus is the only one that could possibly embrace my soul. I knew whatever happened, life would be okay. I’d be okay.
So many have been through worse than me. They find joy and happiness through their lighthouse. I hope the song inspires you as much as it does me. I try to think am I being loving and kind. Would Jesus be happy by my choices? Living by the Ten Commandments and Beatitudes I find my true happiness.
