Lighthouse

The concept of a “light house as for the Lord” can be found in various Bible verses that use light as a metaphor for God’s guidance and truth. For instance, Psalm 27:1 state, "The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?"1 This verse, along with others, likens God to a lighthouse that provides direction and safety amidst life’s challenges.

The Bible speaks of restoration and healing Isaiah 58:12, for example, says, "Those from among you will rebuild the ancient ruins; You will raise up the age-old foundations; And you will be called the repairer of the breach, The restorer of the streets in which to dwell."2 This verse and others like it convey the idea of repairing and restoring what has been broken in human lives and society.

Certainly! The theme of restoration is woven throughout the Bible, offering hope and encouragement in times of hardship. Here are some key Bible verses related to restoration:

Psalm 51:12:

"Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and uphold me with a willing spirit."1

John 8:12: Again, Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness but will have the light of life.”

Matthew 5:14-16:

“You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.

Isaiah 61:7:

"…to grant them a beautiful headdress instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, the garment of praise instead of a faint spirit…"1

Jeremiah 30:17:

"But I will restore you to health and heal your wounds…"1

Galatians 6:1:

"Brothers and sisters, if someone is caught in a sin, you who are spiritual should restore them gently…"1

Romans 8:19-21:

"For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sons of God. For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of him who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to corruption and obtain the freedom of the glory of the children of God."1

Remember that restoration is multifaceted, encompassing spiritual, emotional, and material aspects. It’s a process that requires faith in God’s promises. May these verses bring you hope and encouragement! 🙏✨

#Repair humanity - Guiding lost souls back to the harbor of humanity

By
Guiding lost souls back to the harbor of humanity —what a profound and poetic mission! Imagine a world where compassion and empathy are our guiding stars, where we extend a hand to those adrift in the tempest of life. Let me weave a tale of hope and redemption, a beacon for those who seek solace in the storm. The Lighthouse Keeper In a secluded cove, where cliffs met the restless sea, stood an ancient lighthouse. Its weathered stones whispered tales of shipwrecks and lost dreams. The keeper, an old man with eyes like the ocean, tended the flame that pierced the darkness. He had seen it all—the broken-hearted lovers, the weary sailors, the wanderers seeking refuge. Each night, he climbed the spiralling stairs, his lantern casting shadows on the walls. His duty was simple: guide lost souls back to safety. One stormy eve, a young woman stumbled ashore. Her eyes held storms of their own—a tempest of grief and regret. She had lost her way, drifting far from the harbor of hop...

#Repair humanity - Absurdity of human philosophy

Absurdity of human philosophy Absurdism  is a philosophical perspective that asserts the universe is  irrational and meaningless .  According to this theory, our attempts to find meaning or rational explanations in the universe ultimately fail because no such inherent meaning exists—at least not for human beings 1 . The concept of absurdity arises from the  confrontation  between two opposing ideals: Human condition : Our struggle to find meaning, clarity, and purpose. Universe : A silent, cold, and seemingly purposeless existence. In other words, absurdity reflects the contradiction, lack of meaning, or irrationality that manifests itself in various aspects of life 2 . It’s as if we’re caught in a perpetual tug-of-war between our desire for purpose and the indifferent vastness of the cosmos. One of the most famous expressions of absurdity comes from Albert Camus’s essay “The Myth of Sisyphus.” In it, he presents the myth of Sisyphus—a figure cond...
