A lodestone is a naturally occurring rock called magnetite which exhibits magnetic properties as seen in the picture. Metals will not become magnetized unless they are brought near to the stone and then they begin to exhibit the magnetic properties of the lodestone. Likewise it is not until we come to Jesus, will our hearts be drawn irresistibly to Him and our desires become aligned with His heart. We then find a friend who sticks closer than a brother. Jesus indeed draws us to Himself; within Him alone will we find utter joy in this life; being wonderfully aligned with Him; our Lord and our God. The magne
tic properties of the lodestone were used to construct the first magnetic compasses. So held within the hand of the operator, the compass; like Jesus; shows where the individual is facing, and keeps their heart aligned right with His heart on their journey. And with our true lodestone of Christ held actually within us; giving us His life, at the point of us giving our lives to him; we can now know always where we stand with God; right with our fabulous and mighty creator and everlasting Father.
