I love getting up early in the morning to be with the Lord. It is the most special time of the day. It’s a time that I look forward to…..and hate to pull away. My time with Him is just for me to ‘be’. I sit in silence with Him. My heart opens to love Him. I express my gratitude for the day and the dawn and the way the sun comes through the bare branches. I lean into Him for a fresh dose of unconditional love. Knowing I can never ‘be’ all that He would like for me to be, it’s difficult to explain how He could possibly love me and forgive me anyway. But, He does.
You can see why it’s a place I run to everyday. There’s a seat for you too. He’s waiting – watching – and whispering to your heart. Don’t worry. You don’t have to perform. You don’t have to rehearse. All you have to do is just ‘be’ that person He so perfectly made and tenderly loves. That’s YOU and me!
I’ll meet you there in the morning. When the sun comes up and the first beams come through and the frost glistens like snow – I’ll ‘be’ there with Him and with you. Unconditional love. And, and don’t worry if you’re late, He’ll still be there whispering for you to come…..watching for you to just ‘be’ and waiting to love you completely.
“In the morning, O Lord, you hear my voice, in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait in expectation….” Psalm 5: 3
“Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfuness. I say to myself, “The Lord is my portion; therefore I will wait for Him.” Lamentations 3: 22-24
