Light at the End of the Tunnel

“I thought I saw the light at the end of the tunnel,” a caregiver said with a sigh. “What I didn’t realize was that it was another freight train heading right toward me.”

Caregivers are often marathon runners with an invisible and ever-moving finish line. We yearn to know with certainty that our efforts are right and worthwhile. We think, If only I knew how long this would last, I could make it.

When everything is dark and uncertain, there is Someone we can rely on—the Lord Jesus Christ. Reading His Word and resting in His presence bring comfort, strength, and wisdom. Letting a particular verse unfold within our minds and hearts gives us light to see and courage to take those next caregiving steps.

Trusting in God mends our frayed emotions and sustains us in our caregiver’s journey. His multidimensional wisdom is far greater than our simple view of our circumstances.

God’s words will always light our way through the dark tunnels of life.
