Shipwrecked and LOST!

As Believers in Christ, we have been called to be LIGHTHOUSEs!

Surely you can remember the HOPELESS feeling of BEING LOST without Jesus

A SHIPWRECKED soul in the SEA of LIFE.

Jesus made a point in spending much of his ministry on or near the Sea of Galilee.

HE knew the HOPELESS, HELPLESS and LOST were seeking a LIFESAVING experience.

Matthew 5: (14) "You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. (15) Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. (16) In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.

Just as the LIGHTHOUSE beams the LIGHT and quides the paths of ships on the sea,

Jesus calls believers to BE the LIGHT and quide the LOST to HIM!!!

There are MANY souls LOST and are searching for their way.

These LOST will not FIND the LIGHT if it is HIDDEN from them.

That is why Jesus said that Believers should let their LIGHT shine!!!

Matthew 4: (16) The people living in darkness

have seen a great light;

on those living in the land of the shadow of death

a light has dawned."

Father, I commit to you that I will not pass by the LOST in my journies, but WILL

guide them to Jesus, The Light of the WORLD!!!

May I be strengthened with the nourishment of YOUR WORD,

to SHINE before ALL men, lighting the way for the LOST and Shipwrecked.

Amen
