Beacons of the Divine: A Poetic Journey #261

Beacons of the Divine: A Poetic Journey In the tapestry where light and shadow blend, A gospel beacon, souls to mend. To anchor faith in Christ's embrace, We tread the path, fears to face. With mind and body fortified, Against the tempest, we abide. A heart of steel, unwavering light, In darkness, we must shine so bright. "I am the world's light," He declared, A promise of hope, brightly shared. "You are the light," echoed His call, To carry His flame, stand tall. Mastery over flesh and thought, A battle, daily, fiercely fought. Without a true master's guide, The deceitful may, in shadows, hide. The gospel's joy, kindness to all, A guard against the heart's downfall. Neglect not virtues, light to bear, Lest the heart clouds, lost in despair. Heed the Spirit's gentle work, In us, God's seal, a sacred perk. To grieve the Spirit, a trust betrayed, In light and truth, our paths are laid. So walk in faith, steadfast and true, In Christ's light, our lives renew. "Luminous Faith," our journey's name, In transformation, we find our aim. -Written by Steven G. Lee (February 10, 2024)
