A NEW DAY DAWNING

Awake in darkness, yet light approaches. Whether I recognize it or not, daybreak is steadily marching toward me. Soon the world around me will be bathed in brilliant light, a new day is dawning. This is the continual work of our Creator: darkness turned to light, prisoners released to freedom, death swallowed in victory. His unconstrained love is new every morning. Lord God, You are good, so very good. Help me to recognize Your approach in my darkest moments. May I seize new beginnings, divine opportunities, a fresh start. Awaken my heart with readiness and fervor.
