Another beautiful morning watching God’s creation come alive while I am having a cup of coffee with Jesus.  I have come to find this to be a very important part of my morning.  I am used to spending a lot of time organizing my day, my calendar, making my To Do list, and then I try to fit in prayer.  Now the first thing I do is sit down with HIM, to pray, to listen, and to ask HIM to direct my day.

As we create habits, it is important to create habits that drive us to the FATHER.  Yes, that includes physical activitY and emotional stability, but, most of all, quiet time with HIM.  Sometimes self-pity gets in the way.  When we become immeshed in misery, we turn to HIM with a list of all the things that are not going right for us.  But self-pity removes God from our lives and replaces it with self-interest.  It causes us to complain, always wanting more, always wanting answers. We never have enough, we are never satisfied, and then nothing wonderful or amazing can ever happens in our lives.

Today, sit before the King of Kings, take a long, deep breath, and just BE in HIS presence.  Be in HIS plan.  Be in the moment.  That is where it is safe and peaceful, and where you will see your Lord. 

Have a blessed day!
