Getting up early after only four and a half hours of sleep was really hard this morning, but the moment I stepped outside my cabin and saw the sun shining through the trees I was reminded of why I do this.
I was reminded of my mission. I was reminded of all the souls that will step on this property starting today for the next 8 weeks and will see and experience Jesus like I've seen and experienced Him in my life. And I was completely renewed. I was just so in awe of the goodness of my heavenly Father.
If you're tired today, ifyou're coming to an end, if you've had enough, if you don't know which way to go or where to turn or who to talk to or who to blame or who to look up to... If you're confused or hurt or angry or bitter or sad or scared or just tired...
Look up and see the Son.
Just look up and know that God is there. God has never left. We just overlook Him as we go about our daily routine. We look around and see everything else in front of us and we miss the sun shining through the trees.
Be comforted in knowing that He is right beside you today no matter what you're going through, no matter what you've been through, no matter what you've done or who you are. God made you and God loves you - every bit of you, just the way you are. He loves you enough not to leave you where you are but to pick you up and carry you to where you need to be.
Take comfort in that this morning. Don't lose sight of the Son. Let your circumstances dissolve in the glory of His presence. He's the comfort & stability & love you seek.
Psalm 139: 7-10 says "Where shall I go from your Spirit? Or where shall I flee from your presence? If I ascend to heaven, you are there! If I make my bed in Sheol, you are there! If I take the wings of the morning and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, even there your hand shall lead me, and your right hand shall hold me."
