This morning when I arrived at work, it was raining. It is now afternoon and I look out my office window to see hints of blue peeking from behind the same clouds that brought the rain. In my experience I have come to realize that circumstances are a lot like the weather, always changing with little regard to my own plans.
When it comes down to it, we have to learn to say with David, “The Lord will fulfill his purpose for me; your steadfast love, O Lord, endures forever. Do not forsake the work of your hands.” Both clouds and sun have a purpose - just like times of struggle and comfort in our lives.
Rain brings replenishment and the sun brings energy and God has a purpose for every drop and ray that enters our lives; different circumstances help us to grow in different ways.Some people staying at the Mission seem to find only gray clouds through bad attitudes and foolish actions, while others get caught in a sudden downpour. Whatever their reasons, Lighthouse Mission does everything it can to share hope and to help people weather the storms of life.
It is your provision that allows us to minister to physical, spiritual, and emotional needs of many local people. Thank you for your gift; as we speak, your generosity is bringing light into stormy and dark lives. The Lord is fulfilling His purpose and showing love through your generosity!
I was just one who stopped by this great mission a little over a year ago. I had already found my Lord Jesus but I was sure given a spiritual lift and sent on my way by the folks their. Thank you
