The Light of the Cross

When you feel the waves of life crashing against you;

Knocking at your door, pulling you under, leaving you gasping for air,

Feeling yourself sinking into the depths of the sea;

God is there, waiting to pull you out of the rising sea; a life ring in your time of need.

When you feel as if you’ve given life all you’ve got and can’t give anymore;

When it is a dark and stormy night, when you are treading on the boulders of life,

When you are lost at sea- look for the roving light at the top of the lighthouse-

He is inside the light waiting to cradle you in His arms, to tell you that it is going to be okay;

Look to the Cross in times of trouble, for it will be your light.
