The Unseen

Proverbs 18:24 - A man of many companions may come to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother

Walking in the darkness alone, there was a man who carried a flashlight with him on the beach where his feet led him to ocean’s edge. He was not the light, but it was a light unto his path.

Though no one stood beside him, he was not alone.

He shined the light across the beach and pointed it to the ocean of mercy for others to see. As he held the light, he was unseen. In darkness of night, I could not see him as he blended into the beach around him, but he was not of the beach itself.

Though I could not see any one with him, there was a Friend who was closer to him than a brother in the darkest of nights.

This man was unseen as was his dearest Friend, but what could be seen was the beacon of light in an ocean of mercy. It pointed the way to the unfathomable depths of love to be found in the incomprehensible God of all creation.
