I love
the unique sense of hope and anticipation my heart feels as dawn approaches. When
morning light breaks, previously obscured details are openly exposed. Light,
like truth, reveals the formerly unseeable. It is commonly said: “truth hurts.”
Yes it does, but not as much as deception. I cannot honestly say that I always
welcome the truth easily, but ultimately, I love truth. I need truth. I want
truth. When truth bathed in love arrives to the tormented heart, it cleanses
the soul and lifts our spirit like nothing else. You, O Lord, are Truth and Love
Incarnate. May Your Light fill me afresh this day.
A serious pursuit of godliness requires an equally serious renunciation of worldliness. Too often, we measure spirituality with false scales. While being wisely selective with our public vices we are less so with our private attitudes and perspectives. In reality, it is the thoughts and intents of the heart where the greatest battles must be waged; our actions will ultimately align with the condition of our hearts. Lord God, You know me inside out, You are not fooled by human facades. Plow my heart with Your Word and Spirit and leave nothing unturned. Refresh my inward man that I may outwardly glorify You in all places at all times.
