“Be the light that survives the storm.”

I’ve always loved lighthouses. Maybe that’s partly because one of my favorite movies growing up—and still one of my favorites today—is the original Pete’s Dragon. There is something inspiring about a lighthouse standing strong through wind, rain, and crashing waves.

What amazes me is that no matter how fierce the storm becomes, as long as the light continues to shine, ships can find their way. That light provides direction, hope, and safety when everything else seems uncertain.

Life brings storms to all of us. Sometimes we are the ones struggling through dark and difficult days, and sometimes we have the opportunity to help someone else through theirs. Heavenly Father wants us to be lights that continue to shine even when life is challenging. We can encourage others, offer kindness, and share hope with those who may be feeling lost.

At the same time, we need to keep our own light burning. Choosing hope, focusing on the good, and trusting that brighter days will come can help us weather our own storms.

For me, the ultimate light in every storm is Jesus Christ. When the winds of life feel overwhelming, His light never goes out. Because of Him, there is always hope. Because of Him, there is always a way forward. His light shines in the darkness and guides us safely through life’s storms.

Who has been a lighthouse in your life during a difficult season?

How can you be a light for someone who may be struggling right now?
