I Wish to be a Beacon

 

Feeling so inadequate lately with doubts lying in my soul.

I want to please my Savior but the doubts are taking a toll.

It seems as though I’m missing something, an important part.

Something very deep inside me that God’s laid on my heart.

 

No matter how deeply I probe into it, it never becomes clear.

On what my Savior expects of me, while I am abiding here.

A little spec of sunshine that lies deep within my soul.

Telling me there’s something there, vital to make me whole.

 

In time, I suppose he’ll reveal this secret that lies deep within.

I hope I have the courage & fortitude to handle the task or the sin.

Hoping beyond hope that it’s nothing I’ve done against HIM.

And able to conquer the task, so the spec of sunshine won’t grow dim.

 

I wish to be a beacon that shines on all those who are lost.

So they can find their way to HIM, when on the ocean waves are tossed..

I want them to know my Savior and all the gifts in store.

And hope beyond hope, they keep searching to hear more.

 

Written by,

Bonnie May

A lot of people have differnet versions of God.

And any one of them would glady glady welcome you with open arms.

Now I have to go find my sunnies, because your beacon is so bright.

Take care

I have felt similiarly recently and was nodding my head "yes" when reading this. I think on our spiritual journeys we sometimes go down side paths on the roads that we least expect, and afterwards, we grow so much from. You shared well your faith, and I know it will bring other readers to Him. Blessings, Michelle

PS Love that pic, very Art Deco-ish, lol

Bonnie, as others have said, you are already that beacon. And inside of you there is (that little speck of light) another beacon which is your union with God (I AM), and getting close enough to hug it is going to remove any further excuse for doubt.

You are a beacon!!! So guess that solves that!! ;-)) Now... perhaps you have something inside yourself that may need some looking into...some thing that you really want to do and have been holding back?? Don't!!! You should go for it... whatever you do it is certain that God is at the top watching over you... guiding... :-)) really thought provoking....

I think we all feel this way now and then... maybe because the more we try to shine and show our gratitude for what we have been given...the more we are blessed, or at least the more we find to be grateful for... it is like a never ending cycle and we will never be able to truly show Him exactly how grateful we are because He is always giving us new things to be thankful for...

Your are indeed a beacon and that is the gift God gave to you to stir the minds of your readers in God's direction with your poetry of praise and thanksgiving. Many never know what their purpose on this earth is but it will be revealed in heaven and how they accomplished it.
