Can you imagine going through this life without Jesus? On this Thankful Thursday I am thankful for all those that pointed me towards a relationship with Christ Jesus. I am thankful for the gift of salvation. I am thankful that I can be a light in the darkness for others.

If you look to the left of this photo there is a lighthouse. The Wikipedia definition of a lighthouse is a tower, building, or other type of structure designed to emit light from a system of lamps and lenses and to serve as a beacon for navigational aid, for maritime pilots at sea or on inland waterways.

Just like a lighthouse for ships, we are instructed to be a light for others as we read in Acts 13:46 NIV; “For this is what the Lord has commanded us: “ ‘I have made you a light for the Gentiles, that you may bring salvation to the ends of the earth.’””

Heavenly Father, Thank you for putting others in our path to point us towards you. Thank you for the gift of salvation. Equip us to be a beacon of light for others to receive this beautiful gift. We pray for all those living in darkness and the trials they are facing without you. In the name of Jesus Amen!

As we say in Run Club, now go shine God’s light! I encourage you to listen to this song, Shine Jesus Shine
