A Morning with the Lord

Sunrise…

A Morning with the Lord…

I have always loved the mornings. For me there is no sweeter, quieter, peaceful, more focused, time. When my household arises….it is another matter 🙂 🙂

Like most of you, I’ve been at home…although it was pre-planned. As essential personnel, soon, I’ll be out of this hiatus and back serving.

The world is fighting a pandemic. The proportions of which I struggle to wrap my head around. Much less my heart…

My heart feels for all right now…and the more I see, the more I realize I seem to always be one layer away from weeping.

Mornings….

This morning God woke me at 3:27am…a bit random, or maybe not 🙂

It is in Him that I find my solace. There are times that I do not know what to say…so I just soak.

 I got to praying. And repentance was on my heart. I know most of us think this as a negative word….as if we have done something wrong.

And we may have.

But it such a love word because it gives us the opportunity to make a different decision and choose Him in whatever area He highlights.

As I was talking with the Lord….these words came out of me that just gave me the sweetest release…

“God, I repent for choosing myself over You.”

Oftentimes we go down a checklist of ‘things’ to repent for…but truthfully, this one may be at the root of them all.

God, we repent for choosing ourselves over You.

So….before your day gets busy and other noises creep in….I ask you to think about, and acknowledge, where you have chosen yourself, your ideas, your preferences etc, over God. And repent.

May those words bless you like they blessed me.

Blessings always.
