The Sun Comes Up, It's a New Day Dawning


Let’s not forget that today, as we start our day, and as we move through it, are in the company of the One who created the universe, holds all things together, parted the Red Sea, provided amply for the widow, shared with us the order of His kingdom,  sent His Son to do for us what we could not do for ourselves, raised a thought-to-be destroyed Jesus to His rightful place, smiled as He thought of each of us, then made us, placing us in space and time, breathed life into us, loves us even while we were yet sinners, forgives our sins, restores our lives, invites us to draw close, and allows us to participate in His work.

Today, all day long, I am in the company of Him who loves and desires His love to permeate the universe through us.  As I look, listen, learn to hear His beautiful song, feel the pulse of His good and strong heart, will increasingly know what it means to love in a broken and hurt-filled world.  Only as I become familiar with His Spirit can I know what love looks like in the moment.  We are here to set prisoners free, to heal the sick, to speak truth, to encourage, to bear up one another, to let others bear us up in our weakness. 

Don’t miss it.  This is life, amazing grace, boundless love, and a limited amount of time to trust Him with our lives and our “yes” until this season will close and we will see clearly.  I don’t want anyone to be shocked at the goodness they had been offered.
